ARMENIA PLANS ON BUILDING 30-70 MEGAWATT SOLAR POWER STATIONS
21:16, 16 March, 2015
YEREVAN, 16 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. In the next two to three years,
Armenia will be building 30-70 megawatt solar power stations. This
is what Deputy Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the
Republic of Armenia Areg Galstyan informed during the session of the
Committee on Energy of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly. "To this
day, Armenia has not enhanced the solar energy sector. Of course,
Armenia has carried out several pilot projects because before 2014,
the tariffs for energy produced at photovoltage stations were quite
high for Armenia, and that would have a huge impact on the final
tariff for energy provided to consumers. In 2014, we held quite a lot
of discussions with the top experts from different parts of the world.
Understanding the trends, we are trying to open a small door for these
technologies. We plan on building the first large, 30-70 megawatt
stations in the next two to three years ," the deputy minister said,
as "Armenpress" reports.
The subsidy mechanism is being applied so that the cost of solar
energy doesn't have a huge impact on the price of electricity.
