YEREVAN, October 19. /ARKA/. Two companies – Italian and American – are to embark on wind electric plants construction in Armenia in 2008, Armenian Deputy Energy Minister Areg Galstyan said Thursday in Yerevan, at the international conference on geothermal energy.
“90-megawatt plants are planned to be built in Karachakh and 25-megawatt plants in Sotka”, he said.
He also said that new territories would be searched for constructing wind plants.
The first wind power plant was put into exploitation in December 2005 in province of Lori. Iran has provided $3.5 million as grant for building that plant. The plant consists of four 2.6-megawatt wind turbines.
The plant generates 5 million kilowatt/hour power every year.
Armenia’s minimal economically-justified wind energy capacity is 450 megawatt, which makes it possible to generate 1 billion kilowatt/hour electric power.
The conference is organized by Armenian Energy Ministry and France Embassy in Armenia. M.V.-0---
