Armenia developing, rehabilitating hydro projects

摘要

An agreement signed in February at the Armenian National Assembly will allow for construction of two hydro projects along the Aras River on the Armenia/Iran border. The two governments signed agreements in 2007 and 2008 allowing for construction of the 130 MW Meghri and 130 MW Karachilare (also spelled Gharachilar or Ghare Chiler) plants. Meghri - under construction as of November 2012 - will be on the Armenian side, with Karachilare on the Iranian side.
