Power exports to Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan have grounded to a halt to help stabilize power supply during peak hours, head of Iran Grid Management Company, an Energy Ministry subsidiary, said.
“Selling electricity to neighboring states has experienced a downward trend over the past 30 days, decreasing from 3,000 megawatts per day to zero,” Davoud Farokhzad was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Nonetheless, power import from Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia has risen to reach 700 MW per day and cannot increase further because the much-needed infrastructure to transfer electricity from neighboring countries to Iran is not developed enough, he noted.
