TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The electricity transmission line between Iran and Pakistan will be inaugurated on Thursday, May 18, in the presence of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Prime Minister of Pakistan Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif.
The Iran-Pakistan electricity transmission line set a nine-month construction record.
The project for increasing the capacity of the exchange of electricity between Iran and Pakistan includes a double-bundle transmission line 80 kilometers long, 50 km of which is on Iranian soil.
Once this electricity transmission line is put into operation, a 100-percent increase in electricity exchange with neighboring Pakistan will become possible.
