YEREVAN, JANUARY 11, ARMENPRESS: Georgian authorities did not reconfirm
a previously made bid for buying electricity from Armenia. Late
last year Georgian officials had asked Armenia to supply it with 200
megawatt of electricity in 2007.
A spokeswoman for Armenian energy ministry Lusine Harutunian said
the Georgia side refused to sign a new agreement without giving
explanations.
She said Armenia produces now as much electricity as it needs and
may step up production in case of extra demand.
She said also Georgia has already announced a tender to choose
a company that will build the Georgian section of Armenia-Georgia
power transmission line. Ms. Harutunian added that Armenia will also
announce a tender soon for construction of its part of the line.
