Energy Minister: Iran to Connect to European Grid Power
TEHRAN (Dispatches) –Iranian Minister of Energy Reza Ardakanian on Monday said that his country is planning to get connected to Europe through the power lines of the neighboring countries.
"Iran exchanges energy with its neighboring countries, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Iraq,” Ardakanian said.
Saying that Iran is paving the way for the investment of Iranian and foreign private sectors in renewable energies, Ardakanian said that energy investors can even export their own generated power to other countries by the Iranian power grid.
On the joint water fields with neighboring countries, he said that Iran and its neighbors can use the fields as a way to expand cooperation, the official said.
