16:47 ~U 10.06.13
The annual wind energy output may reach 10,000 MW in Armenia, according
to the Clean Energy NGO.
Haik Khachatryan, Vice-Chairman of the Clean Energy NGO, told
journalists on Monday told journalists on Monday that the mentioned
figure is almost ten times as high as the energy output of the Mestamor
nuclear-power plant (NPP).
"We can have this figure provided we can make use of all the winds.
Wind power stations have to be constructed high, which is a rather
difficult task," he said.
Haik Shekoyan, an expert in renewable energy, said that a modern wind
power station costs $1.4m.
"But equipment similar to that operating in Europe can be brought to
Armenia, which will prove to be cheaper several times," he said.
Both the experts said that solar energy has the best prospects
in Armenia.
"The expected gas price rise must be a signal for us to search means
of saving. Many families install solar collectors on the roofs of
their private houses, and a number of companies are producing such
collectors in Armenia," he said.
