ArmInfo. In 2019, Armenia  will have the best electric power grid in the entire post-Soviet  space, Armenian Deputy Minister of Energy Infrastructures and Natural  Resources Areg Galstyan said in Parliament on October 27.      

He said that by 2019 all the electric power substations in the  republic will be equipped with up-to-date facilities. The system  management will be automated. For that purpose, the second stage of  SCADA project will shortly be launched. This will provide an  opportunity to strengthen the capacities of the power grid of  Armenia. The projects are funded by a number of international  financial organizations.    

Earlier, Yervand Zakharyan, the former minister of energy and natural  resources, said that by 2019 the total investments in the Armenian  power engineering will exceed 800 mln USD.
