Yerevan, 10 April: The sale of the fifth unit of the Razdan thermal
power plant is "the most successful deal in the energy sphere which
will strengthen Armenia's energy security", Armenian Prime Minister
Andranik Markaryan said in Yerevan today.
The head of the government said that the decision to sell the fifth
energy unit of the Razdan thermal power plant to the ArmRosGazprom
close-type joint-stock company is not connected with an increase in
the price of Russian gas supplied to Armenia, Mediamax reported.
Andranik Markaryan said that the decision to sell, upgrade and put
into operation the unfinished energy unit was planned long ago.
Andranik Markaryan noted that apart from money to be paid for
purchasing the facility, the Russian side pledged to invest 140m
dollars in two years' time in the reconstruction and upgrade of the
fifth energy unit of the Razdan thermal power plant.
