According to Iranian media, the event was kicked off in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Sunday by Minister of Energy Hamid Chitchian.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the exhibition, Chitchian said Iran’s power industry has greatly progressed during recent years and at present its products are being used in 36 countries as parts of their power distribution networks, power plants and transmission lines.
He added that boosting cooperation between Iranian and foreign companies in order to promote the quality of domestic energy industry products, is the main goal of the exhibition.
Chitchian said Iran's energy industry is mostly reliant on domestic products and services, but contacts with other countries will prevent Iranian power industry from becoming stagnant.
The Iranian minister, however, noted that in order for Iranian power industry to be competitive at international level, it must engage in exchanges with international companies active in the field.
He also stated that existence of suitable laws supporting generation of renewable forms of energy in Iran has caused Iranian and foreign producers to be enthusiastic about getting involved in this field.
This year’s edition of Iran's International Electricity Exhibition, which is underway at Tehran International Fairgrounds, is attended by representatives of 541 domestic and foreign companies including 200 foreign firms and 341 Iranian ones. The high figure of foreign attendance in this year’s exhibition stands in stark contrast to last year when only 110 foreign companies took part in the exhibition.
Major countries that have sent their companies to Tehran’s electricity expo include South Korea, Turkey, China, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, the United States, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Japan, Switzerland, Canada, Belgium, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, Slovenia, India, the Netherlands, and Finland.
This year’s exhibition has been held over an area of 25,000 square meters in which participants will present standard products.
The four-day exhibition of Iran's electricity industry will continue until November 11.
