Iran is capable of exchanging electrical energy with all the countries that have a land border, but so far, the infrastructure of connecting the power network through the sea has not been prepared with the neighbors that the country has a maritime border with.
Qatar seems to be the first country that Iran will connect its electricity network with through the sea.
One of the most important documents signed by the two countries during the visit of the Iranian president and his accompanying delegation to Qatar was the memorandum of understanding on an electrical connection between Iran and Qatar with a capacity of 1000 megawatts.
According to an official in Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir) the project is currently being pursued.
