Tavanir: Electricity Imports Up, Exports Down

To help meet rising power demand, electricity imports from neighboring states, including Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia, have approached 700 megawatts per day in the last three weeks.
Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, spokesman of Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir), said the figure shows a 130% growth compared with the same period of last year when less than 300 MW of electricity were imported per day, which trend is expected to continue, ILNA reported.
“On the other hand, power exports to Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan have reduced and reached less than 1,000 MW since the beginning of June,” he added.
