Iran develops energy exports plan to Turkey

Tehran, Iran | July 28, 2007 by D-8 Secretariat

Iranian Energy Minister, Parviz Fattah stated that Iran seriously intend to promote electrical energy exports to the neighbouring countries, because its value added is more than crude oil and gas. Fattah underlined that Iran has an electrical link with all its neighbouring countries, such as Turkey.

Upon a new agreement with Turkey, Iran will export around 6,000 megawatts of electricity through West Azerbaijan province. To achieve these goals, the electricity transmission lines should be strengthened and new power plants should be built in the border areas with Turkey. Currently 85 dams are being constructed around the country; 15 of which will be ready this year.

D-8 Organisation Director, Ambassador Kia Tabatabaee extended his contentment regarding this plan, and stated that the organisation will strive to give fullest support to broaden this cooperation scheme among other member states of D-8 as well.
