22 August 2006 - Electricity from Iran started flowing to the Republic of Azerbaijan via the Astara border on Monday in accordance with an agreement entered into by the two countries, the director of public relations of the Gilan Regional Electricity Company said.

Speaking to the IRNA news agency, Alireza Mozayyan, said a seven-kilometer, 230 kW electricity line has been constructed between the two countries to transfer a maximum 50 MW of electricity from Iran to the Republic of Azerbaijan and vice-versa.

"According to an agreement concluded between the two countries, Azerbaijan will provide the required electricity needs of Astara and Talesh (Iranian cities) in summer while Iran will supply electricity to Azerbaijani cities in winter," he said.

The exchange deal between the two countries is believed to cut investment costs.

Gilan province is capable of generating 1800 MW of electricity.
