You all knew there was going to be a disaster… find batteries, generators, etc.

Artur Danielyan writes on his Facebook page. “I say again: all of you knew that the catastrophe was going to happen, but, deceiving yourselves, you hoped that we would pass. Now, self-deception doesn’t work either. For those who would like to avoid burying their heads in the sand, I will present a few arguments.

A few days ago, the government called a meeting. Representatives of almost all companies working in the field of renewable energy of the republic were present. The main topic was: What are we going to do when the gas goes out? It is natural that no joint solution was reached. The reason, as it is in all spheres, is the recklessness of government members. Those people are used to answering very complex problems with very simple “solutions”, doing everything twice and putting the blame on others.

And the problem is really very complicated. The graph below is the daily electricity demand graph. As you can see the consumption drops to almost zero at night, increases to a peak in the morning, then decreases in the afternoon and increases again in the evening when people get home (and this is not even considering seasonality). The difficulty is that solar energy production peaks at the exact moment when demand is falling. In other words, the sun provides electricity that people do not consume, which greatly burdens the grid, causing fluctuations, shutdowns and accidents.

For example, the productivity of a hydropower plant can theoretically be controlled. You increase the flow of water during peak hours and decrease it during the day and night. THEORETICALLY, it is possible to control the productivity of the thermal power plant and even the nuclear power plant, but it is not possible for the solar power plant. In the case of fuel, including gas, the problem is easily solved. If you need to heat, you turn on the gas, if you don’t, you turn it off. This cannot be done with solar unless there are storage plants, which are horribly expensive and still inefficient technology.

Since the country is ruled by a man with the curse of khaki-Midas, one can be sure that this problem will suffer the fate of all other problems: the khaki will be pushed to the bus. If the Greek King Midas turned to gold what he touched, what does this turn to gold: security, diplomacy, education, healthcare, finance, democracy…everything!

During the aforementioned government meeting, it was said that the Europeans would help financially to solve the issue. Meanwhile, for example, according to the 2026 budget, as of June 30, it was planned to attract a loan of about 1 billion dollars, but in fact -150 million (yes, with a minus) was attracted. In other words, no new money has arrived, but we have to repay the old loans.

This has forced our beloved bureaucrats to reduce their expenses by 15%, starting with stationery, ending with gasoline and foreign travel.

And the Europeans are not in a hurry to solve the problem, among other reasons, because there is no longer a legitimate government in RA. No one wants to spend billions in a place where the government that rigged the elections could collapse overnight.

Since the non-existent state will not solve this issue, I say to you again what I said a year ago: find batteries, generators. Solve your family problems. Do not eat milk, do not wait for manna. Don’t listen to the propagandists of the regime, the fakers and the dalbayobs from America who urge us to war against Russia and “peace” with Azerbaijan, they all have one thing in mind: their green card. They will not worry about the heating of your house, nor about the bread of your children.

And remember that energy is just one of the sectors on the verge of collapse and not the biggest one…”
