Iran’s e-diplomacy worked/Shanghai Pact members welcome to cooperate with Iran

According to the economic reporter of Fars News Agency, connecting Iran’s electricity grid to neighboring countries is one of the most important strategies that can increase the stability of the electricity grid of the countries and on the other hand, provide the basis for the creation of multiple markets for the export of energy in the form of electricity.

In this regard, Iran’s strategic location and political geography make it possible for our country to become the power pole of the West Asian region and to complete the missing link connecting North to South and East to West in this puzzle.

In addition to its valuable strategic position, the expansion of Iran’s electricity network, along with the significant production capacity of this energy carrier compared to neighboring countries, is another advantage that provides the basis for Iran to become the power pole of the region.

According to the mentioned points, recently the news of connecting Iran’s electricity grid to the northern countries from the east of the Caspian Sea is being pursued as a basic strategy at the highest levels of diplomacy.

*Details of connecting Iran’s electricity grid to members of the Shanghai Treaty

In this regard, Mohammad Ali Farhanakian, Advisor to the Minister of Energy on International Affairs, while explaining the favorable situation of Iran’s electricity grid and its significant political geography, stated: The plan to connect our country’s electricity grid from the east side of the Caspian Sea is a plan that allows the exchange of electricity in the organization’s member countries. Shanghai provides more.

The advisor of the Minister of Energy in international affairs continued: The issue of connecting Iran’s electricity grid to the northern countries from the east of the Caspian Sea was raised in the “Caspian Sea Meeting” in order to make the necessary decisions.
Expressing the capacities created behind this electric connection from the east of the Caspian Sea, he said: the former Soviet member countries have the possibility of connecting with each other more in terms of connecting the electric grid, and only the third line is needed to connect the electric grid of Iran with Turkmenistan, which used to be the second line. It was put into operation.

Referring to the latest operational status of the mentioned line, Farhanakian emphasized: This line has been extended by Iran to near the border and there is a need to take action from Turkmenistan, which country has also started the necessary activities and its activation will increase the transmission capacity by 200%. .

The adviser of the Minister of Energy in international affairs emphasized the achievements of the aforementioned electric connection: with this increase in capacity that will happen and despite the possibility of connection that exists in other former Soviet countries, we can transfer our electricity through the east of the Caspian Sea.

* Central and South Asian electricity is supplied with the cooperation of Iran and Tajikistan

According to Fars, one of the countries that has significant interest in developing energy relations with Iran is Tajikistan.

Based on this, Delir Juma, the Minister of Energy and Water Resources of Tajikistan and the Tajik head of the Joint Commission for Economic Cooperation between Iran and Tajikistan, on the sidelines of the 15th Joint Commission of the two countries, stated: Tajikistan ranks 6th in the world in terms of water energy resources, and considering According to the Iranian energy minister’s emphasis on Iran’s technical and engineering potential, it is necessary to use this capacity to create hydroelectric power plants.

He emphasized: With the cooperation of Iran and the existing capacity in Tajikistan, we can supply electricity to Central Asia and South Asia.

*Iran becomes the main player in electricity in West Asia

In addition to the Minister of Energy and Water Resources of Tajikistan, Ali Akbar Mehrabian, the Minister of Energy of the Islamic Republic of Iran also explained the details of the relationship between Iran and Tajikistan in the field of energy diplomacy and said: In the field of development of technical engineering services, the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in Tajikistan is planned and maximum use From the potential of Iranian companies in this field, we have seen the cooperation of Iranian companies to build the Raghun hydroelectric power plant in Tajikistan.

Mehrabian continued: “Tajikistan is in a favorable condition due to its water resources, therefore the production of electricity from water and the construction of hydroelectric power plants in this country have been taken into consideration. Currently, this country produces 6500 megawatts of electricity through hydroelectric power plants.” And it is planned to produce 10 thousand megawatts of electricity in this way.

According to Fars report, considering the strong regional diplomacy formed in this field, it seems that the countries of the region are also aware of Iran’s role in the future of energy in West Asia and are extending their helping hand to the most powerful power grid in the region. Based on this, the continuation of the current command can provide the basis for turning Iran into the power pole of the region.
