Does Not Georgia Need Armenian Energy Power Any More?

PanARMENIAN.Net - In the current stage Georgia does not need addition import of energy power, including from Armenia, stated ESCO representatives (Electric System Commerce Operator), commenting on the information that the Georgian side has not confirmed its request for obtaining power from Armenia made at the end of 2006.



ESCO reports currently Georgia totally imports 1.5 million kilowatt-hour energy basically from Turkey and Azerbaijan to support Ajaria's energy supply, at that with exchange conditions. Also 100-200 thousands kilowatt-hour is being imported from Azerbaijan in order to support uninterrupted work of energy systems of both countries on parallel regime. The rest of power necessary for internal need Georgia produces itself.



As to Georgia's request to import energy from Armenia, the matter was about importing not Armenian, as wrote Russian Media, but Iranian power, which would enter Georgia through Armenian territory. At that the payment would be done again on exchange bases. And the quantity of importing energy would be less than the Russian Media wrote. But since Georgia does not feel deficit in power, this scheme, in any cases, was not enabled, ESCO mentioned, IA Regnum reports.
