Tavanir Boosting Power Exports

With temperature falling from 40 degrees Celsius in June and July to around 30 in September, power exports have witnessed an uptrend over the last 10 days as household electricity demand declines, the head of Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said.
“Power exports have reached 1,000 megawatts per day and it will exceed 1,500 MW soon, while imports are as low as 350 MW on a daily basis,” Arash Kordi was also quoted as saying by ILNA on Monday.
Selling electricity to neighboring nations, including Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan is a top priority for the state-run Tavanir, a subsidiary of the Energy Ministry, as it is the only source of foreign currency revenues, he added.
