The reconstruction of overhead transmission line Noraduz-Lichk- Vardenis- Vayk-Vorotan-1, stretching for about 230 km and implemented with the funding from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, will be completed in the first half of 2017, the ministry of energy infrastructure and natural resources said.
YEREVAN, December 20. /ARKA/. The reconstruction of overhead transmission line Noraduz-Lichk- Vardenis- Vayk-Vorotan-1, stretching for about 230 km and implemented with the funding from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, will be completed in the first half of 2017, the ministry of energy infrastructure and natural resources said.
"The greater part of the work has already been carried out. The purpose of the reconstruction is increasing the reliability of the energy system of Armenia", - the ministry said, adding that the power line will connect two generating facilities– the Hrazdan TPP and the Vorotan Cascade of HPPs.
"The program is aimed not only at improving the reliability of the power system, but also at increasing its capacity. As a result of the reconstruction the capacity of transmission line will increase from 250 MW to 310 MW, will improve also its technical specifications, while losses will be reduced from 1.6% to 0.7%," – the ministry said.
The ministry also noted that the saved money will be used to reconstruct the overhead transmission lines Lalvar and Noyemberyan with capacity of 110 kV stretching for about 50 km, which have been running since 1962.
The reconstruction of the latter two will be carried out by Iranian Gam Arak company that won last August an international tender announced by Armenian government worth $4.4 million. The work is set to begin in 2017. -0--
