ArmInfo. "Vorotan HPP Cascade" CJSC reduced the power generation over
the first quarter, 2009, by 35,6% - to 163,649 mln kWh against 253,8
mln kWh over the similar period, 2008, the CJSC told ArmInfo.
The source explained the sharp reduction of the power generation by
shortage of water as a result of small quantity of rainfall over the
first three moths, 2009. Electric supply over the reporting period
reduced to 161,986 mln kWh against 251,7 mln in 1Q, 2008.
To recall, Vorotan HPP Cascade consists of three hydropower plants
with total capacity of 404 MW. The Cascade operates all year
round due to the two water storages and plays an important part in
frequency regulation during power exchange from Iran to Armenia and
backward. Armenia receives electric power from Iran in wintertime and
returns it in summer. The annual balance of overflows is zero. "Vorotan
HPP Cascade" is a joint- stock company with 100% share of the state
and is under jurisdiction of the Energy Ministry of Armenia.
