    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 5, ARMENPRESS: There are development tendencies
    in Armenia in the sphere of recovering energy, Energy and Natural
    Resources Minister Armen Movsisyan said today at a briefing with
    reporters during the "Week of Recovering Energy" event, adding that it
    is necessary to use at least the few resources we have in the sphere
    and opportunities as right and rational as possible.

    He said there are 94 small and hydro power plants functioning in
    Armenia, 65 of which are in the construction phase. The functioning
    small hydro power plants have 124 megawatt power and this year will
    produce about 395 million kilowatt/hour electricity, which is the 3%
    of the inner demand of the latter. "In near future we may strengthen
    our powers and bring it to 7-8%," the minister said.

    Referring to using of wind energy, Mr Movsisyan said that there is a
    serious investment interest: an Italian company has already received
    license of building 20 megawatt power station and the construction
    is in process. "We are also trying to develop sun energy which is
    rather expensive, but reliable," the minister said, noting that
    sun energy is not so much developed in the world. According to him,
    it is mainly used for the solution of local issues.
