Gorbachev's Organization Supports Alternative Energy in Armenia
Antonio Pasolini, Energy Refuge | Aug. 20, 2011, 3:59 PM
A solar power generator plant in Spitak, Armenia, will get financial
help from Green Cross International, an organization founded by former
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
So far the project has attracted $8 million in investments. The plant
will produce up to 1,000 units with capacities that range between 3
and 32 kilowatt. The latter can supply electricity to a household.
Vahagn Hameazaspanyan, head of the solar power plant program, said the
plant will give Armenia an economic boost since there is huge demand
for this type of equipment.
He criticized the government for not helping Armenia's solar power
sector, despite recently approving an energy security plan.
Brazil and Mozambique are possible destinations for the Armenian solar
generators.
