YEREVAN. - The Sisian area of Armenia has a rich potential for
producing electricity.
Along the lines of a USAID program, a solar heater was recently
installed for the polyclinic of Darpas village in the area.
In terms winds, according to the Energy and Natural Resources
Ministry, the wind energy capacity at SisianPass is estimated at 140
megawatts.
Also, there is an underwater hot water mine at Jermaghbyur, and
Armenia's first geothermal power station and a greenhouse network were
planned to be built here.
According to the plan that was designed with assistance by the World
Bank, three-kilometer deep six wells were to be dug at Jermaghbyur. At
the time, the respective investments were valued at $39.1 million.
When this program was considered full of prospect, in 2006 the
Armenian government had decided to hand it over to Corporacion America
Company that belongs to Argentinean-Armenian businessman Eduardo
Eurnekian. But there is no progress in this project.
