Iran's Power Export to Iraq Symptomatic of Cordial Two-Way Relations

Electricity exports to Iraq continue as usual and the pattern is symptomatic of cordial and expanding economic, trade and political relations between the two neighbors. 
According to the Energy Ministry news website Paven, Iran can supply its western neighbor with as much as 1,500 MW of electricity per year via five transmission lines.
The export contract was signed in 2005 for the sale of 150 MW p.a. and is extended ever since.
Iran has exported close to 65 billion kilowatt hours of electricity to Iraq since 2004 worth $6.2 billion, of which $5.2 billion has been paid.
