GEORGIA’S ENERGY AND FUEL MINISTER PUTS OFF VISIT TO ARMENIA
YEREVAN, JULY 5, ARMENPRESS: Georgia’s fuel and energy ministry said
today minister Nika Gilauri’s visit to Armenia that was expected to take
place today, was postponed, saying the postponement was not caused by a
Monday breakdown at Imereti power transmission line that sent Tbilisi and
several eastern provinces of the country in a 60-minute blackout.
Gilauri was supposed to discuss in Yerevan the start of construction of a
new power line from Armenia, which he said on June 30 would kick off in a
month. He said the new power line with a capacity of 330 Kwatt/h will become
an alternative electricity supply source eliminating Georgia’s full
independence on Kavkasioni power line. The construction of a new power line-
Gardabani-Hrazdan, will be mainly funded by Georgia’s government, which is
set to release some $12 million for this.
