Unprecedented electricity consumption registered in Armenia during summer - Minister
Unprecedented electricity consumption has been registered in Armenia in summer 2018, Minister of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources Artur Grigoryan told the reporters today, summing up the 100th day of his work.
“This summer we had an unprecedented electricity consumption. In the history of independent Armenia such volume of electricity consumption – 1030 megawatt daily – has never been registered during the summer months,” the minister said.
He agreed it with very hot summer.
“It was a rather serious issue for us to ensure reliable and high-quality services especially in conditions when the nuclear plant was not working in this period,” Grigoryan said, adding that they succeeded to overcome issues thanks to organized work and experienced staff.
