Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan
said that currently, Armenia’s energy systems are the first not only
in the region, but also in CIS countries.

"Armenia’s energy system is the most established one in CIS
countries by its production and distribution capacities, distribution
culture and electric power calculation system. This is not only my
biased estimation, but also international experts’ and specialists’
estimation," Mr. Movsisyan told journalists at the opening ceremony
of Yerevan power plant with gas-steam combined cycle.

Besides, the Minister said that second power plant is planned to be
constructed at the territory of Yerevan heat and power plant. The
electric power produced by the new energy unit first of all will be
used for the internal needs, while surplus will be traded for the
Iranian gas.

The official opening ceremony of Yerevan power plant with gas-steam
combined cycle took place on April 21 with participation of Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan. The new power plant will be consuming 2-2.3
times less fuel (natural gas) for production of 1kW/h electric power.
