A. Movsisyan: Only Armenia may attempt to be energy operator in the region
`Having adopted accurate policy we've developed our energy system and
can attempt being the only energy operator in the region,' Armen
Movsisyan, Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, told
Panorama.am.
The Minister says Armenia is setting ultra-high voltage power lines
with Iran. Minister Movsisyan said the project targets those countries
which have energy deficit.
Referring to Georgia, which exports energy to the countries of Eastern
Europe, Armen Movsisyan said: `The project of ultra-high voltage power
lines is aimed to join Armenia to those energy flows.'
Panorama.am was interested if Georgia would approve Armenia's
involvement, in case if Armenia purchases energy in lower prices,
Minister of Energy said: `Periodically our energy will be low, and in
spring and summer it will be lower conditioned by Georgia's water
resources, but still this doesn't really matter because launching
ultra-high voltage power lines we'll optimize our regimes and have
cheaper price.'
