Electricity export from Iran to neighboring countries generated $600 million in 2021, a deputy energy minister said.
"The state-run Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company [Tavanir] cannot raise power exports unless infrastructures are developed," Homayoun Haeri was also quoted as saying by Barq News.
Tavanir sells close to 1,500 megawatts of electricity to Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan on a daily basis, he added.
Haeri noted that although neighboring states are willing to import more power from Iran, Tavanir cannot boost exports as its output capacity is limited due to lack of investment.
