Armenia starts to export more electricity
In the first eight months of the year, the electricity export from Armenia increased by 9.9%. Overall, about 955 million kilowatt hours of electricity were shipped compared to 868 million kilowatt last year. The main part of exports went to the Iranian market. Supplies also have been restored to Georgia. Over 116 million kilowatt of electricity was supplied to the Georgian market. This became possible in February due to the signing of a contract on electricity transmission between Armenia and Georgia, signed between Energomash CJSC and Global International Energy Corporation. It is expected to increase the export growth by at least 20% by the end of the year. Also, it is noteworthy that 4.1 billion kilowatt hours of electricity were consumed in the domestic market, which exceeded the indicator of the previous year by 276 million kilowatt hours or 7.2 percent.
