TEHRAN - The value of Iran's electricity exports will hit $1 billion
by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20), the Fars
News Agency quoted deputy energy minister Mohammad Behzad as saying.
He added that since the beginning of the current Iranian calendar
year, Iran has exported over 9.2 gigawatt hours of electricity to
neighboring countries.
The amount showed a 33 percent increase in comparison to the same
period in the previous year, he noted.
The managing director of the Iran Power Generation Transmission and
Distribution Management Company (TAVANIR), Homayoun Haeri, announced
on December 15, 2012 that Iran currently trades 12.3 gigawatt hours of
electricity with neighboring countries, namely Turkey, Armenia,
Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Nakhchivan and
Iraq.
Iran seeks to become a major regional exporter of electricity and has
attracted more than $1.1 billion in investments for the construction
of three new power plants.
Iranian Energy Minister Majid Namjou has said previously that by the
end of the Fifth Five-Year Economic Development Plan (March 2016),
Iran will have boosted its electricity generation capacity by 25GW to
reach 73GW.
