“It can be said that in a month, Azerbaijan will be able to sell electricity to Iran via this transmission line,” he said. “An agreement on prices has already been reached. There are no technical or financial problems.”
The minister noted that in the future it is planned to carry out cross-flows of electricity among Azerbaijan, Iran and Russia, as well as among Georgia, Azerbaijan and Iran.
“All the necessary work is already being carried out in this direction,” Mustafayev said. “Linking energy systems of these countries is a strategic objective for us.”
Earlier, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak confirmed the interest in uniting the energy systems with Azerbaijan and Iran.
Azerbaijan has the necessary infrastructure that allows receiving and transmitting electricity. The country has experience in the simultaneous operation of energy systems with Russia as there has been a single system since the Soviet period.
