The hydropower engineering is rapidly developing in Armenia thanks to the correct policy carried out by the government, according to the chairperson of the Union of Small Hydropower Plants.

“Armenia is a country with poor natural resources but developing hydroelectric power plants, it can export electricity,” Naira Nahapetyan told journalists in Yerevan.

“Presently, small hydropower plants generate 331 mln kwh, what makes 5% of the total amount of electricity processed in the country,” she said.
