CONSTRUCTION OF ARMENIA-GEORGIA HIGH-VOLTAGE ELECTRIC MAIN DUE TO START IN 2015
YEREVAN, November 5. /ARKA/. Construction of 400 kVt electric main
between Armenia and Georgia is planned to be started in 2015, Armenian
deputy minister of energy and natural resources Ara Simonyan said at
the draft budget discussions in the parliament commissions on Tuesday.
A transition power line will be built in the first stage, and two
existing mains will be connected to it.
"This will enable us working with Georgia's energy system
simultaneously", the deputy minister said.
The second stage includes construction of the electric main from
Hrazdan to Ayrum where the second module of the transition line will
be built bringing exchange capacities between the countries from 200
up to 700 megawatt, he said.
The third part is linked to construction of the new nuclear power
unit in Armenia and, hence, is due to start in 2026.
Along with this, another 400 kVt power line construction project is
implemented with Iran. Thus, Armenia will get involved in regional
energy integration projects, the deputy minister said.
According to the ministry's estimates, the total project cost is
330 million euros, of it 300 million will be spent in the Armenian
territory and the remaining part in Georgia. -0--
