'Currently we have gathered ideas totally worth around US $ 420 millions, out of which we have investment projects of around US $ 185 millios in the forms of different projects. The total value of projects kicking off or continuing in 2017 makes up around US $ 11.5 millions. The rest will be done in the upcoming years,' RA Nature Protection Minister Artsvik Minasyan presented environmental investment programmes at the press conference held on 10 February 2017.
As an example, Artsvik Minasyan presented 'Green Urban Lighting' project, which aims to increase energy efficiency in lighting of urban economies. 'As a result of the project, we annually reduce around 580 tons of CO2, we have 35.6 km of modernized energy efficient street lighting and reduction of community exploitation expenses by US $ 120,000,' the minister presented. Artsvik Minasyan outlined that all projects are exclusively grants, 'We don't implement projects with loan resources. Grants help us to attract low loan resources for the implementation of certain long-term projects. In our sector the number of projects is 25 in 2017 and I'm sure we will multiply this figure in future, if we adhere to this rate,' Artsvik Minasyan said.
