/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In about 3 years, minor NPP production capacity in
Armenia will comprise 500 million kilowatt-hour, RA Deputy Minister
of Energy and Natural Resources Areg Galstyan said at round table
discussions on Armenia-Russia interaction in energetics sphere, held
within EXPO-RUSSIA 2009 Armenia exhibition frameworks. The capacity
indicated will allow to cover up to 8% of internal energy consumption,
which is a serious figure.
In this connection, Galstyan noted that minor Nuclear Power Plant
construction projects are private-owned, with government providing
rather attractive implementation terms. Among companies engaged
in minor NPP construction, Armenian ones prevail, there are also
companies from Russia as well as other countries.
Commenting on NPP number and capacity increase, Galstyan noted that
energy production in Armenia increased 2,5 times within last 5 years.
"5 years ago, minor NPP production capacity comprised 120 million
kilowatt-hour, whereas at present the figure rose to 120 million
kilowatt-hour," he added.
