Iranian engineers to commission 1st wind power plant in Armenia soon 


TEHRAN, Oct. 16 (MNA) -- The final stage of Armenia's wind power
plant will be completed and inaugurated within two weeks. The
installation of the equipment will be implemented by Iranian
engineers within the next 7 days, managing director of SANIR Company
Alireza Kadkhodaii stated on Sunday. 
This power plant is comprised of 4 units each offering 660 kW of
electricity. It is the first wind-generated electricity plant
constructed mainly by Iranian engineers and equipment outside the
country. Furthermore, it is the first one ever built in Armenia and
SANIR is expecting to hear the officials' announcement for
inaugurating the project soon, the managing director said.

The agreement on construction of the power plant was signed by Iran's
former energy minister and his Armenian counterpart several months
ago.
