Yerevan, 22 July: The head of Interenergo B.V. (affiliate of RAO UES
[Unified Energy Systems of Russia]), Mikhail Mantrov, today described
as “illusions” the claims that the Russian energy giant is in control
of the whole energy system of Armenia.
At a new conference in Yerevan today, Mantrov said that in Armenia
RAO UES owns the Sevan-Razdan Cascade hydroelectric power plant,
which provides only 10 per cent of whole energy produced in Armenia.
Despite the widespread opinion, RAO UES is not the owner of the Razdan
thermal power plant, he added.
