In January 2014, Armenia’s population consumed 359 million
killowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, which exceeds the figure for
last year only by 10%, reports local daily Haykakan Zhamanak, citing
data received from the Electric Networks of Armenia.

The newspaper reports, however, that the population paid 13 billion
AMD (about $31,542,700 USD) for electricity consumption, which is 40%
higher than in January 2013. Each family paid on average 5,000 AMD
(about $12) more for electricity this January compared to last January.

Compared with January 2010, Armenians paid twice as much for
electricity this year.
