Consumers Also To Pay for Lifetime Extension of ANPP Second Power Unit

After 2026, the operation period of the second (N-2) power unit of "Armenian Atomic Power Plant" CJSC will be extended again until 2036. The Executive adopted the relevant resolution on September 14, 2023.

Reminder: for the first time it was decided to extend the period of operation of the second power unit of the ANPP from 2016 to 2026. Within the framework of the project to extend the lifetime of operation of the second power unit of the ANPP, large-scale modernization and re-equipment works were carried out at the NPP with about 189 million USD of loan and grant funds received from the Russian Federation, as well as with financial funds of about 63.2 billion AMD from the RA state budget.

About 160 million USD will be needed to double the operation period of the second power unit of the ANPP, for which a loan will be taken from RA state budget. It is planned to increase the tariff of the sold electricity to repay the loan.
