Power exchange capacity to rise to 5,000MW

The chief executive of Iran’s Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (known as TAVANIR) said the country’s capacity for electricity exchange with neighboring countries will increase to 5,000 megawatts.
Iran does not have a common border with Europe but it is possible to exchange electricity with Europe up to 600 megawatts through an advanced back-to-back substation, Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi stated, reported Tasnim News Agency.
He revealed the possibility of exporting Iran’s electricity to Europe through Turkey in cooperation with the private sector companies active in regional electricity markets.  
In this respect, an agreement has been inked between Iran’s TAVANIR and the Turkish side, based on which Iran will export electricity to Turkey and then export it to the European countries through Turkey, he stated.
