He added that Iran is the largest exporter and importer of electricity in the Middle East and is exchanging power with all the countries in the region.
Hayeri further noted that Irans power exports and imports are set to increase to 15 billion MW by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20, 2013).
The Iranian official also pointed out that 99 percent of the equipment required for power generation, transfer and distribution is domestically designed and produced.
