Future plans for hydropower edit

I took out the section (text below) as it is out of date I guess? If you have up to date info perhaps it would be better put in the new article I just split off called hydroelectricity in Armenia?

Hydro power is the most widely used renewable energy source in Armenia since Soviet times. Armenian government has proposed construction of four large and 30 small hydroelectric plants with a combined 300 MW capacity.[1]

These include:

  • Meghri HPP on Araks River in Syunik Province (revised to about 100 MW capacity and around 800 million kWh; corresponding law enacted in Iran in 2017; earlier cost estimates run at $323 million[2]),
  • Shnogh HPP on Debed River in Lori Province (about 75 MW capacity and 300 million kWh annual electricity generation) and
  • Loriberd HPP on Dzoraget River in Lori Province (about 66 MW capacity and 200 million kWh annual electricity generation) [3]

The cost of the project is at least US$500 million and is currently proposed for investment.[4] Chidgk1 (talk) 11:25, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
