(MENAFN) Iran is expected to export a total of 3,000MW of electricity to Pakistan, thus making it a top energy source for its western neighbor, based on recent reports.
Additionally, Pakistan currently imports 74 MW of electricity from Iran for its coastal Makran division, and this number will be increased to 100 MW this month.
