YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS. The program of prolongation process of ANPP’s second energy block exploitation goes on according to the timetable, Deputy Minister of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources Hayk Harutyunyan told “Armenpress”. He stated that there are no unforeseen problems.

“Moreover, we have made some savings from the project calculations. The Nuclear power plant will stop working from May until first half of July to undergo renovation by the plan. Another planned renovation will take place in 2018 by which all the works of the prolongation of the exploitation of the nuclear block will be completed”, he said.

As refers to the construction of a new energy block and the planned power, Hayk Harutyunyan noted that various scenarios are being scrutinized at the moment, different technologies are being examined.

“At the moment there is no any specific investor”, he said, adding that the new energy block will be constructed only when the old one stops operating.

The Deputy Minister also reminded that in 2017 electricity and gas tariffs were lowered. In addition, by the results of the first quarter of this year quite positive trends can be noted in the sphere of electricity production and export. The production has risen by 9.3%, exports and domestic consumption have also increased. He clarified that these trends are explained by cutting losses and the increase of the share of hydropower in the energy system.
