Georgia and Armenia will be linked by a
500-kilovolt power transmission line.
Georgian and Armenian Energy Ministries'
representatives signed an agreement in Tbilisi
with regard to construction of a new transmission
line, according to a message from the Georgian
State Electrosystem (GSE).
The new power line will replace the existing
400-kilovolt power transmission line.
Under the agreement the Armenian side will
install costly modern high-tech equipment,
which will increase the power transmission
lines' capacity.
Georgian side, in turn, will build a 40-kilometer
long section of the transmission line.
"
The construction of the new power line between
Georgia and Armenia is important for increasing
the capacity of both countries' power systems,
improving energy independence and sustainability," said
the message of the head of the GSE management
board Sulkhan Zumburidze.
