ARMENIAN-GEORGIAN WORKING GROUP WILL BE FORMED TO PREPARE FEASIBILITY
STUDY FOR FOURTH POWER LINE ARMENIA-GEORGIA
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 7. ARMINFO. An Armenian-Georgian working group will
be formed shortly to prepare a feasibility study for construction of
a fourth power line Armenia-Georgia. Armenian Energy Minister Armen
Movsisyan told ARMINFO.
He said some $12-$13 million will be allocated for the project. The
main construction will be in the territory of Georgia. The
investments necessary for the works in the territory of Armenia are
insignificant. The minister said investment volume and the capacity
of the new power line will be announced only when the feasibility
study is ready.
To note, the fourth sitting of the Armenian-Georgian
Intergovernmental Commission foe Economic Cooperation convened in
Yerevan on September 29. The parties agreed to synchronize the power
systems of the two states, taking into account their parallel
operation with the power systems of Russia and Iran. Power-engineers
were instructed to form a working group for transfer of the Georgian
section of the power line “Ashotsk-Ninotsminda” for the account of
the Georgian party.
