President Serzh Sargsyan today attended the opening ceremony of a
new thermal power plant in Yerevan with combined steam-gas cycle.

The President toured the station and familiarized with the technical
cycles of energy production.

Construction of the power station began in July, 2008. It’s been built
through the assistance of the 247 million USD loan provided by the
Japanese Bank of International Cooperation. The construction works
were conducted by specialized companies from Japan and South Korea.

Operation of the new thermo power station will allow to increase
capacities and reliability of the Armenian energy system and
decrease energy loses. The station will be producing considerably
less emissions.
