BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 4. Iran has resumed electricity exports to its eastern neighbors, Pakistan and Afghanistan, following a decline in domestic power consumption, Head of Iran's Power Generation, Distribution, and Transmission Company (TAVANIR), Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, told reporters, Trend reports.
Rajabi Mashhadi stated that the nation is presently sending a hefty 150 megawatts of electricity across the borders to the two neighboring countries.
“Exports will remain at this level, though volumes may fluctuate depending on electricity exchange conditions with neighboring states,” he said.
The official indicated that Iran persists in its procurement of electrical energy from Turkmenistan and Armenia, with cumulative imports approximating 450 megawatts.
To note, Iran's electricity exports had been largely suspended during the summer months, when domestic consumption in Iran reached its peak.
The national energy production capability surpasses 93,000 megawatt-hours; however, cyclical deficits in the summer months frequently necessitate the importation of electrical power from adjacent nations.
