The government of Armenia has approved a strategic energy development
programme for 2005-2025.
The programme envisages three stages of implementation, Armenian
Deputy Energy Minister Areg Galstyan said.
During the first stage (2005-2010), it is expected to provide reliable
energy supplies to the republic, complete the construction of the
Iran-Armenia gas pipeline and the project of gas supplies to the
country. During the second stage (2011-2016), the safe exploitation of
the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant will be ensured until the republic
has alternative energy sources.
The third and final stage of the strategic programme envisages the
restoration of the heating systems and creation of the necessary
infrastructure, Galstyan said.
