Iran's Private Energy Firms Urged to Join Iraq, Syria Post-War Reconstruction

Iranian private companies are willing and able to help Iraq and Syria in their post-war reconstruction plans by undertaking energy projects, Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian said.
"This is the opportune time for our private companies to offer technical expertise and assert their foothold in foreign markets," Ardakanian was quoted as saying by ISNA on Saturday. 
Electricity wastage in Iraq exceeds 50% and the private sector can easily reduce it to a great extent in a short time, he noted.
