Generator-stator for the new gas-turbine block being built on the
base of Yerevan Thermo Plant has been transported today to Armenia
from Germany, on the biggest plane of the world – Ukrainian AN 225.

Armenian Energy and Natural Resources Minister Armen Movsisyan said
that the device is very heavy and is not of standard sizes, that is
why a transportation scheme was developed and a contract was signed
with the "Antonov Airlines" company which successfully completed
the transportation.

Another such device is intended to be brought to Armenia in two
days. The minister said that the major part of devises have been
acquired which means that the plant will be operated on time or even
earlier. The intended time is April 2010.

Speaking about the efficiency of the new plant, A. Movsisyan said
that if the existing plants are using 380-400 gm of gas for producing
1 kilowatt electricity the gas-turbine will spent 150-180 gm. The
minister assured that from the ecological viewpoint the new plant
will be more secure and the emissions will reduce.

The transportation means for taking the devise to Yerevan Thermo
Plant from the airport are ready.
