“In the conditions of Armenia a consumer needs 14-15 drams hourly to
heat 1 cubic meter of dwelling space,” informed the head of Armenian
Fund of Restoring Energy and Energy Productiveness Tamara Babayan at
the press conference today. As she said, according to calculations
of World Bank experts even if the tariff rises for 30-50% natural
gas will become competitive power-bearing substance from the point
of view of heating.
Nevertheless, taking into consideration the social-economic situation
in the country, how much time is necessary to carry out the heating
program? In reply to this question T. Babayan said: “In case of
necessary financial support the time is not essential. Theoretically,
we can achieve that in 5-6 years.” Yet, the financial assistance
is not the only problem, as T. Babayan mentioned. The awareness and
self-discipline of the society is not less important. /Panorama.am/
