CONTEST ON PRIVATIZATION OF ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION GRIDS OF ARMENIA TO BE RECOGNIZED FAILED
Today the term for submitting applications for participation in the contest for the right of privatization of electricity distribution grids of Armenia will expire. Thus, it can be asserted that the contest will be recognized failed this time, too. As it is known, RAO "EES" Russian company refused acquiring distribution grids of Armenia, giving preference to their exploitation in accordance with the principles of trusty management. In the words of Minister of Energy Karen Galustian, the Government has not set about talks on the possibility of passing the electricity distribution grids for trusty management yet.
