Armenia exported 60 million kWh of electricity to Turkey through  Georgia - expert

ArmInfo. According to official Georgian statistics, Armenia has exported 60 million kWh of  electricity to Turkey through Georgia, as reported by Prof. Vahe Davtyan, an expert in cross-border infrastructure issues and a Doctor of Political Sciences, on his Facebook page.

 "During the first nine months of 2024, Armenia exported 60 million  kWh of electricity to Turkey through Georgia. It is currently unclear  what kind of deal we are talking about. Is this an Armenian-Turkish  swap agreement or something else? It can be assumed that one of the  parties involved in this deal is one (or several) of the trading  organizations in the electricity sector licensed by the Armenian  government. This falls under the energy market liberalization  program, which began implementation on February 1, 2022," the expert  emphasized. According to him, while the volume of 60 million kWh  itself may seem small, the direction of the export, gives each kWh  significant geo-economic importance. This issue, as Davtyan noted,  requires further study.
