TEHRAN (Dispatches)- Iran’s Energy Ministry has planned a scheme of swap mechanism allowing private owners of electricity farms across the country to export power through the national grid to all of the neighboring countries of Iran.
"The electricity generated in solar and wind farms in any part of Iran can be swapped with the same amount of power from the national grid on the borders for delivery to foreign customers,” Iranian Deputy Energy Minister Seyed Mohammad Sadeqzadeh said said.
He said five or six applications had already been submitted to the ministry for export of electricity through the new mechanism.
The official said both foreign and Iranian investors had shown interest in the new scheme which he said would encourage more partnership between owners of the wind and solar farms inside Iran and customers outside of the country.
