Armenia introduces second power line to Iran

Yerevan. (Interfax) – Armenia introduced a second power transmission
line to double electricity supplies to and from Iran, the Armenian
government’s press office told Interfax.

The 82-kilometer, 200-megawatt 220-kilovolt line was built with an
Iranian credit of $8.4 million in accordance with a memorandum signed
by the two countries in July 2002.

Armenia will pay the credit off with electricity supplies.

Armenia and Iran plan to sign a memorandum on a third line in Yerevan
on December 1.

Armenia supplies electricity to Iran for five months during the
summer and receives electricity from Iran in the winter.
