YEREVAN. – Electric transport is the only option to develop transportation in Armenia, chairman of the consumers’ union Armen Poghosyan said.

The Vorotan complex of hydro power plants and Sevan cascade are playing almost no role in terms of supplying Armenia with electricity.

“We will soon have to light candles, because Armenian NPP will be under repair for six months (two months with breaks). The NPP is providing 45 percent of Armenia’s electricity,” Poghosyan said. “We have an urgent need for a new NPP”.
