At a meeting with Slovenia’s Minister of Economic Development and Technology Zdravko Počivalšek, Iran’s Minister of Energy Hamid Chitchian said the presence of Slovenian delegations and trade firms in Iran as well as opening of the European country’s trade offices in Tehran would strengthen economic and trade ties between the two countries; “Iran’s Energy Ministry and Slovenia’s Ministry of Economic Development and Technology have previously signed an MoU and joint production marks the key to success for both sides.”
Chitchian referred to the high electricity production in Iran asserting “currently, the production capacity has reached more than 74 thousand megawatts while the implementation of a 10-year plan will add 50 thousand megawatts to the current capacity providing proper grounds for trade in the power sector.”
The member of the cabinet referred to his recent meeting with energy ministers of Armenia, Georgia and Russia and the integration of the four country’s electricity girds; “in the present time, more than 10 billion kilowatt-hours of Iranian electricity is being exported to Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.”
