Russian “Inter RAO” is displeased with the conditions of management
of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and is going to terminate
the contract earlier.”

operator, and the only alternative of “Inter RAO” is “Rosatom”.

in the construction of a new power unit in Armenia and not in the
management of NPP.
“Inter RAO” manages the Armenian NPP since 2003, the contract expires
in 2013. “Inter RAO” is also the owner of “Electricity Networks of
Armenia” and Hrazdan thermal power plant.
