TEHRAN, May 29 (MNA) - Construction of the third electricity
transmission line from Iran to Armenia, with the capacity of 800-900
mega watts, will start within two weeks, IRNA quoted Iranian Energy
Minister Majid Namjoo as saying. On the sidelines of his meeting with
Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan
here on Sunday, Namjoo added that the project will cost up to 110
million dollars. The meeting was held in line with the two countries'
joint economic committee meeting which is chaired by Iranian Minister
of Foreign Affairs Ali Akbar Salehi and Armenian Minister of Energy
and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan, Namjoo said. He went on to
say that establishing a hydro-electric power plant on Aras River was
another subject of negotiations between the two countries, based on
which a 180-megawatt power plant will be built in Iran and another
180-megawatt power plant will be built in Armenia. Accordingly, a
consortium comprised of Iranian companies is established to pursue
construction of the power plant in Armenia at the cost of some 450-500
million dollars, he further said. HL/MG MNA END
