    YEREVAN, October 5. / ARKA /. Nagorno-Karabakh prime minister Ara
    Harutyunian said today the construction of several new hydropower
    plants is expected to kick off in 2012.

    Speaking at the third issuance of shares of Artsakh hydropower plant
    (Artsakh HEK) he said 3-4 hydropower plants can be built on the river
    of Tartar that connects the Sarsang and Mataghis water reservoirs,
    with a total capacity of up to 50 Megawatt and a potential annual
    output of electricity up to 200-220 million kWh.

    The prime minister said the new hydropower plant will create new jobs
    in Nagorno-Karabakh and enhance its energy security.

    Artsakh HEK is building currently five small hydropower plants. The
    construction of Trge-1 HPP is completed, Trge-2 will be commissioned
    before the end of October, Mataghis-1, MatagÑ~@is-2 will be
    commissioned in the first quarter of 2012, and the construction
    of Trge-3 is scheduled to begin at the end of 2011. These small
    hydroelectric power plants will generate more than 100 million kWh a
    year, which together with 130 million KWh that the Sarsang hydropower
    plant can produce will provide for annual output of 230 million kWh

    The construction of Syunik-1 and Syunik-2 hydropower plants in Karabakh
    is also nearing completion.. The amount of co-generated electricity
    is expected to exceed 300 million kilowatt-hours This will exceed the
    domestic demand for electricity in Nagorno-Karabakh, and in accordance
    with an agreement the surplus will be sold to distribution networks
    in Armenia.
