TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Energy and Natural Resources Minister Armen
Movsisyan said electricity swap between his country and Iran will
increase from the present 350 MW to 1,200 MW.
Iran and Armenia have signed a memorandum for the construction of a
third power transmission line with a 400-kilovolt capacity.
Construction of the project that was launched on November 15, 2010
is being carried out by Iranian company Sanir. The construction is
estimated to cost between ~@100 and 105 million.
Addressing an economic conference of the Republican Party of Armenia,
Movsisyan said Iran-Armenia high-voltage electricity transmission
line will enlarge the volume of the electricity swapped between the
countries from present 350 megawatt to 1,200 megawatt.
He said the line would also enhance reliability of Armenian and
Iranian energy systems' work and their safety.
At present, Iran and Armenia use two high-voltage lines for seasonal
swap with zero balance.
