Power Exports Up, Imports Down

As peak summer demand peters out, electricity exports to Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan, which were halted to help stabilize power supply in summer, has resumed, a deputy energy minister said.
“Selling electricity to neighboring states, which had fallen to zero, has now reached 1,000 megawatts and will rise further,” Homayoun Haeri was also quoted as saying by Barq News.
“The state-run Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company [Tavanir], which had to purchase close to 700 MW of power from Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia daily over the last two months, has reduced imports to less than 200 MW. The company has also started to export electricity again as the cool temperature has substantially reduced demand,” he said.
