Background
Yerevan 1 power station imports gas from Iran as part of the gas-for-electricity swap. The gas transport is handled by Gazprom Armenia.[9] In August 2023, a document on extension of the Gas-for-Electricity Agreement until 2030 was signed between CEO of Yerevan TPP Adam Kazaryan and Deputy Oil Minister of Iran, Director of National Iranian Gas Company Majid Chegeni.[10]
In 2023, the output at the Yerevan 1 power station decreased by 22%, while at the Yerevan 2 power station it increased by 50%. The reason lies in the obligations that the state undertook when it signed a contract with the shareholders of the station – the Italian company Renco and the German company Siemens – several years ago. The station sells electricity to the grid for 5.7 cents per kilowatt-hour, but only if it operates at a load of 90% or higher. Otherwise, increasing coefficients are applied (the lower the load, the more expensive the electricity). This provision was adopted to ensure that investors receive guaranteed revenue under any circumstances. As a result, to avoid overpaying ArmPower, more electricity is purchased from it than from the Yerevan 1 power station, which is owned by the Armenian government.[11]
