Link to Russia is possible through Azerbaijan and Georgia republics by setting Armenia in the middle of the ‘job’, Masud Hojjat stated, adding that the task is costly and requires a comprehensive development plan across the nation’s power transmission and distribution centers.
Elsewhere, managing director of Iran Power Development Company (I.P.D.C) Mohammad Behzad stipulated that the country has already been exchanging electricity with some of the neighbors, and the connection to Turkmenistan will be done via Sarakhs, Iran’s utmost northeastern point, by yearend (Iranian year ends March 20, 2007).
“Nevertheless, this calls on Turkmenistan to do necessary work on its soil to provide better conditions for more power transmission,” he said.
Another power line stretched from Taqi Dizaj of Ardebil, northwest Iran, to Azerbaijan Republic is going to come on stream before the yearend, and we hope the other side will carry out its part in timely manner at the border point, he elaborated.
Iran Power Development Company is also constructing several new lines to link the national grid to Russia via Khoy, Ahar and Jolfa in northwest region of the country in three years.
