“Feasibility studies for connecting power grids have been conducted through three routes including Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan. The Republic of Azerbaijan has been chosen as the best route for this aim,” said Iranian Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian on the sidelines of the 23rd edition of the Iran Int’l Electricity Exhibition (IEE) and the first edition of the Iran Electricity Industry Tech Market Festival, according to Mehr News Agency.
“It is hoped that electricity exchange between Iran, Russia, and Azerbaijan will start in six months, he said, adding that this project is very economical because the peak of consumption of power is completely different in Iran and Russia.
In other words, when the use of electricity is high in Russia, Iran has the lowest consumption rate,” the energy minister added.
