U.S. Takeover Of Armenian Power Plants ‘Completed=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=

The landmark sale of Armenia's largest hydroelectric complex to a U.S. energy company, which the Armenian government put on hold a year ago, has been finally completed, according to President Serzh Sarkisian.

Under the takeover agreement signed in Yerevan in January 2014, the New York-based group ContourGlobal was to pay $180 million for the Vorotan Hydro Cascade and invest another US$70m in its modernization. ContourGlobal was thus on course to become the first Western company to gain major assets in Armenia's energy sector dominated by Russian companies, notably Gazprom.
