Armenian power production down by 7 percent

YEREVAN, December 23, /ARKA/. Armenian power generating facilities produced this year 5.680 billion KWH electricity, by 7% less than in 2008, energy and mineral resources minister Armen Movsisyan said today.
 
Speaking at a news conference he said the entire generated electricity was sold. He explained the decline by the fact that mining, cement and chemical enterprises, major power consumers, had to halt their operations at the beginning of the year.
 
According to the minister, hydropower pants accounted this year for 2 billion KWh electricity. He said power generated by small hydropower plants rose to 335 million KWH from 259 million KWh last year.
 
Thermal power plants produced 1.1 billion KWH electricity, down from 1.,8 billion last year. M.M. -0
