YEREVAN, July 21. /ARKA/. Obvious violations have also been recorded at the High-Voltage Electric Networks (VES) CJSC, Romanos Petrosyan, acting manager of the Electric Networks of Armenia company, told journalists.
The state-owned HVEN CJSC is in charge of the country's high-voltage power transmission lines; the company is an intermediate link between generating power plants and end consumers served by ENA CJSC (owned by Samvel Karapetyan's Tashir Group).
"Nobody says that ENA is to blame for everything and that everything is fine in the HVEN. As a result of the inspections conducted in the HVEN by the State Control Service about a year and a half ago, more than 500 million drams were returned to the state, criminal proceedings were initiated," Petrosyan told reporters at the ENA headquarters.
According to him, the processes (inspections) are ongoing, because ultimately the current situation in the energy system shows the need for deep reforms.
"The state will use all the tools in this area, whether it is a licensed individual (organization) or a CJSC with 100 percent of shares," Petrosyan said.
Romanos Petrosyan was appointed as the temporary manager of Electrical Networks of Armenia on July 18 by the decision of the Chairman of the Public Services Regulatory Commission of the Republic of Armenia within the framework of administrative proceedings and the application of preventive measures against ENA.
The decision of the head of the PSRC states that in recent years there has been growing public discontent with major system failures, more frequent cases of power outages, voltage fluctuations, and violations of deadlines for connecting new subscribers.
The management of Electrical Networks of Armenia has stated several times that the causes of power supply failures include accidents on high-voltage power grids, malfunctions at private transformer substations, and other factors that are objectively independent of ENA.
