Armenia
YEREVAN.- Green Cross International, formed by former Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev, will allocate funds to build a plant producing
solar power generators in the Armenian city of Spitak.
Head of the programs on solar power plants Vahagn Hamazaspanyan said
it will help Armenia overcome economic crisis as not a single country
is producing such equipment, while the demand is growing.
At the same scientist complained that the Armenian Government has
not lifted a finger to develop this field. For instance, the National
Security Council headed by Arthur Baghdasaryan has recently approved
strategic program for energy security which did not mention solar
units, he told journalists.
Preliminary investments in the project are amounting to $8 million.
The plant is supposed to produce up to 1,000 units with different
capacities (3-32 kilowatt). One generator with a capacity of 32 kW
is sufficient to supply electricity to a household.
At the moment, negotiations are being held with Brazil and Mozambique
to promote further exports of solar installations.
