ArmInfo. Despite the incompleteness of the program, the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant is already making loan payments of $ 270 million, previously provided by the Government of the Russian Federation to extend the life of the Armenian NPP. On January 24, Mikayel Melkumyan, Chairof the Standing Committee on Regional and Eurasian Integration, said this from the rostrum of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.
The MP noted that the amount of deductions for the loan is already included in the electricity tariff for the ANPP. Thus, as Mikayel Melkumyan noted, the additional burden will ultimately amount to about 6 billion drams. At the same time, as the MP noted, the program itself was not completed, however, from January 1, 2020, the station carries out a subsidiary of Rosatom State Corporation -- corresponding deductions for work that has not actually been completed until the end.
To note, according to the agreement, all extension work was supposed to be completed before the end of 2019, but now it turns out that there is a need to extend the project implementation time by another 2 years - until December 31, 2021.
