Armenia, Yerevan: 85% of the third power transmission line between Armenia and Iran has been constructed, according to the Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures Hakob Vardanyan. The construction of the 400 kV power transmission line is in the final phase.
“There will be 280 km line from Hrazdan to the Iranian border and a 400 kV substation in Syunik Province. And there will be another line towards the Georgian border. After completing the entire project, there will be an opportunity to connect the four countries, Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Russia, but mostly Iran and Russia. And it will be the first time that two such major energy systems will have the opportunity to connect,” Vardanyan commented.
He said the third electricity transmission line between Armenia and Iran will be beneficial for the entire EEU area, adding that there will be new directions for exporting electricity.
