The increasing number of small hydropower plants in Armenia is
promoting economic growth, prime minister Tigran Sarkisian said at
Cabinet session today after the Cabinet decided to change the category
of some land areas in central Kotayk province from agricultural to
industrial. Deputy minister of territorial administration, Vache
Terteryan, said small hydropower plants will be built on these
land areas.
Today there are 108 small hydropower stations across Armenia with an
average capacity of 130 MW, which generate 450 million kWh of energy
per year. This represents about 10% of the total consumption and 8%
of the total production in the country.
Some 65 more small hydropower plants are under construction. By
the end of 2011 the number of operating small hydropower plants in
Armenia will rise to 165 with total capacity of 265 MW and annual
power generation of 923 million kWh..
