SEVERAL BOILER-HOUSES TO BE PUT INTO OPERATION THIS YEAR
YEREVAN, MARCH 17, NOYAN TAPAN. 7 months ago the US Agency for
International Development (USAID) started a program on apartment
heating, under which several boiler-houses will be put into operation
this year. The program director Gagik Hovhannisian said at the March
17 press conference that the allocated 1.5 mln USD will be used to put
these boiler-houses into operation and supply thousands of families
with heating. The program also envisages free advice services for
those organizations which will express an intention to participate
in the program on heating of apartment buildings.
Tamara Babayan, Director of the Fund of Renewable Energy and Energy
Saving of Armenia, noted that 15 mln USD provided by the World Bank
will also be used for repairs of heating systems. According to her,
the program's main directions are heating of schools (it is envisaged
to restore the heating supply of about 100 schools) and grants for
vulnerable families in the form of gas supply provision and purchase
of gas stoves.
It was noted at the press conference that in addition to this program,
the World Bank envisages to allocate a 3 mln-dollar grant until this
summer in order to deal with the same problems.
