Iran Exports 7,775mw/h Electricity in 11 Months

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian Energy Ministry announced that the country has exported 7,775mw/h electricity in the last 11 months, which shows a 28% growth compared with the same period last year.


The ministry announced on Monday that it has exported 7,775 megawatt-hours of electricity since the beginning of the current Persian Calendar Year (started March 21, 2011).

The figure shows a 27.86 percent increase compared to the similar period last year, which stood at 6,065 megawatt-hours.

With the implementation of subsidy reforms law, not only domestic electricity consumption has reduced but also annual growth in electricity demand has been checked, thus paving the way for further export of electricity to the neighboring countries.

Iran has power swap deals with Armenia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Afghanistan and the autonomous region of Nakhichevan.

Well done, Iran.

I respect your go-getter spirit, unlike the lazy, pathetic nature of the Nigerian gov't.

Better than asking oil companies to supply you with electricity.
