Armenia temporarily shuts down Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant

The Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant in Armenia has been taken offline for five months as part of a lifespan extension programme, the country’s Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure, David Khudatyan, announced.

Khudatyan noted that Armenia’s solar power plants are expected to produce an amount of energy comparable to that of the Metsamor plant during this period, Caliber.Az reports, citing Armenian media.
