Iran, Russia to Commence Power Grid Harmonization

Executive operations to harmonize Iran and Russia’s electricity grids are expected to start in September, a deputy energy minister said.
“Feasibility studies on the synchronization of the two countries’ power grids, which started in 2018, have yielded good results and work to connect the networks will start early fall,” Homayoun Haeri was also quoted as saying by Barq News.
“There are two routes through which our power grid can be connected to Russia’s; one is via the Republic of Azerbaijan and the other through Armenia and Georgia,” he added.
In 2015, Iran and Azerbaijan signed an MoU on the exchange of electricity.
