Power Grid Synchronizations With Russia, Azerbaijan Gain Momentum

To help accelerate the synchronization of Iran’s power grid with those of Azerbaijan and Russia, the three neighboring nations discussed the details of an ongoing project via videoconference on Monday.
The meeting was attended by the deputy energy ministers of Iran, Azerbaijan and Russia, IRNA reported.
The three sides scrutinized feasibility studies on the synchronization plan conducted by Monenco Iran Consulting Engineers, a leading global provider of professional engineering and consulting services.
Established in 1973 as a joint venture between the private sector of Iran and Montreal Engineering Company of Canada, the company was commissioned to devise a plan to link the three countries’ power grids.
