Iran’s Energy Minister Majid Namjou says seven new countries have joined
the list of states that have requested to buy electricity from Iran.
Namjou declared that Russia, India, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Syria
and Oman are the new countries that have asked Iran for electricity.
He added that Iran has the capability to turn into a regional
electricity hub.
“Iran exchanges electricity with most of its neighbors and many of
them are interested in increasing their electricity exchange with Iran,”
Mehr news agency quoted Namjou as saying on Sunday.
“There are also trilateral talks with Iran, Azerbaijan and Russia
underway, that aim to connect Iran’s electricity network to Europe,” he
added.
