Iran to build 3rd electricity transmission line to Armenia
TEHRAN, May 30 (MNA) – Construction of the third electricity transmission line from Iran to Armenia, with the capacity of 800-900 mega watts, will start within two weeks, Iranian Energy Minister Majid Namjoo said.
On the sidelines of his meeting with Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan here on Sunday, Namjoo added that the project will cost up to 110 million dollars.
The meeting was held in line with the two countries’ joint economic committee meeting which is chaired by Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Akbar Salehi and Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan, Namjoo said.
He went on to say that establishing a hydro-electric power plant on Aras River was another subject of negotiations between the two countries, based on which a 180-megawatt power plant will be built in Iran and another 180-megawatt power plant will be built in Armenia.
Accordingly, a consortium comprised of Iranian companies is established to pursue construction of the power plant in Armenia at the cost of some 450-500 million dollars, he further said.
