FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Majid Namjou said on Sunday that exchange and transit of electricity among neighboring countries was a policy of the Iranian Energy Ministry, noting that Iran and Tajikistan can exchange as much as 500 kilovolts of electricity.
“By importing inexpensive electricity from some neighboring countries, it is possible to transit electrical energy to countries demanding it,” Namjou said.
He added that to connect Iran’s power grid to that of Tajikistan a new power transfer line must be built through Afghanistan.
“Therefore, a common power line among three countries will be built after a final agreement is reached by Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan,” the minister said.
On Tuesday, June 12, the Iranian Energy Ministry official in charge of foreign exchanges, Abdolhamid Farzam, said the country is planning to connect its electricity network to six countries in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
He added that Tehran and Ashgabat have reached an agreement to build two new 400-kV lines which will enable Iran to exchange electricity with Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
Iran seeks to become a major regional exporter of electricity and has attracted more than USD 1.1 billion in investment to build three new power plants.
The country is currently exchanging electricity with Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Pakistan, Nakhichevan, Turkey and Turkmenistan.
