Tavanir: Pakistan Electricity Import Infrastructure Dismal

Despite Iran’s willingness to raise power exports to Pakistan, the latter lacks the infrastructure to boost electricity import, the spokesman of the Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said. 
“Tavanir has extended power transmission lines to Pakistan’s border, but Islamabad has done almost nothing to develop its infrastructure,” Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi was also quoted as saying by Bargh News.
Although power exports have declined due to rising domestic demand in summer, Tavanir is expected to resume electricity sale from October, he added.
In 2002, Pakistan signed a deal with Iran to import 34 megawatts of power per year.
