Three foreign companies have stated about their refusal to participate in the tender for privatizing Armenian energy distribution nets. «AES Silk Road» American, «ABB» Swiss and «Elektroseti de France» French companies will not participate in the tender. This means that there are only two rivals: Russian RAO «EES» and Spanish «Union Fenosa». It should be noted that «Union Fenosa» has not given the final confirmation of its participation in the tender yet.
