It said the volume of electricity generated by thermal power plants
increased 2.7 times compared to the same period in 2010, amounting to
878.9 million kWh, while production by hydroelectric power stations
decreased by 7.6% to 1.078.2 million kWh. The thermal power plants

The Armenian nuclear power plant generated 1.124.6 million kWh (3.7%
less than in January-May 2010).
It accounted for 36.5% of the total electricity generated in the
country in Jan-May 2011. Also some 1.9 million kWh electricity was
produced by the wind farm, a 17.4% decline compared to the same period
