Managing director at the National Iranian Gas Export Company (NIGEC) Alireza Kameli, said on Sunday that Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates are five countries that are set to receive electricity produced in Iran by gas-fueled power plants.
According to Kameli, the first contract for the export of gas-generated electricity was signed between the NIGEC and an Iranian private company in January, adding the initial deal for converting gas to electricity has recently been signed with four Iranian companies.
Kameli also said a memorandum was signed with Turkish companies for the construction of a power plant last year and Iranian companies are currently conducting studies to find a suitable location for the power plant.
In addition to Turkey, Iranian private companies are also conducting studies on electricity markets in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates.
