Other participants include 20 Iranian knowledge-based companies, established by local intelligentsia in the electricity industry.
A deputy energy minister said the 16th edition of the IEE enjoys greater significance than previous ones, as it comes in the post-sanctions era and follows the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear agreement between Tehran and the P5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).
The international exhibition is showcasing numerous electrical equipment in the fields of power, electronics, electrical substations, power distribution and control, process control products, electricity measuring, automation systems and equipment, lighting systems, maintenance and services as well as renewable and new sources of energy.
