TEHRAN, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Iran's income from electricity exports stood at 3.373 billion U.S. dollars in past four years, Financial Tribune daily reported on Tuesday.
The money came from supplying over 40.1 billion kilowatt/hours of power to the neighboring countries between August 2013 and June 2017, the report said.
Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Armenia, Turkey and Iraq purchased roughly 800 million U.S. dollars worth of electricity annually over the past four years.
The report said that the total installed power generating capacity of the country has reached 77,000 megawatts(MW), up nearly 8,000 MW from 2013.
Data show some 240 megawatts, or just around 0.3 percent of Iran's total electricity supplies came from renewable sources such as solar and wind, other sources including hydroelectric plants, fossil fuel plants and Iran's only nuclear plant in the south.
