    development of small hydro power plants in the country. The scheme
    was discussed will all the involved parties, Armenian Minister of
    Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan said.

    small hydro power plants as Armenia still has unused hydro power
    potential.

    Armenia over the last four years - over 60 as of the year 2008. Some
    60 small hydro power plants are currently under construction.

    The main part of the country's small hydro power plants is in Siunik
    region (20 operating and 13 under construction) and Lori region
    (15 operating and 10 under construction).

    plants provide 30.3% (1,695.3mln kilowatt-hour) of the overall power
    production in Armenia.
