    electricity with neighboring countries on Friday.

    According to the report released by the Energy Ministry, some 303
    megawatts (MW) of electricity were imported from Armenia while 1, 137
    MW were exported to Iraq, IRNA reported on Saturday.

    The total amount of electricity exported to Afghanistan, Republic of
    Azerbaijan, Iraq, Pakistan and Turkey hit 1,306 MW.

    Some 502 MW of electricity were imported from Armenia and Turkmenistan.

    Iran has electricity exchange with Armenia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan,
    Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iraq and Afghanistan.

    According to a report released by the Energy Ministry in April, Iran
    exported some 398.9 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity since the
    beginning of the current Iranian year (started March 19).

    The report said the figure shows a 43-percent rise compared to that of
    the same period of the preceding year which was 279.1 GWh.

    It added that implementation of Subsidy Reform Plan helped reduce
    electricity consumption which created a proper condition for
    increasing power exports.

    The implementation of the Subsidy Reform Plan, which began late in
    2010, has enabled the government to gradually reduce energy subsidies
    over five years, with low-income families compensated with direct cash
    handouts.

    Iran exports electricity to Armenia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey,
    Azerbaijan, Nakhichevan, Iraq and Afghanistan.
