France interested in building nuclear power plant in Armenia
French companies are interested in participating in the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Armenia, French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said, RIA Novosti reported.
Armenia plans to build a new power plant with a capacity of approximately 1,000 MW. The project could cost about $5 billion. The Armenian parliament abolished the state monopoly for ownership of new nuclear power units in 2006 in order to attract foreign capital for the project.
"A group of French experts will be sent to Armenia to discuss cooperation in energy, road construction and transport," Fillon said.
