ARMENIA'S GAS RESERVES ARE ENOUGH TO COVER HOME NEEDS

YEREVAN, JANUARY 24. ARMINFO. Despite the stoppage of the Russian gas supplies to Armenia, the country's gas reserves will suffice it for covering its home needs during the winter, reports the press service of the Armosgazprom company.

The Abovyan underground gas storage is supplying the country with 4.8 mln c m of gas a day, with the winter peak-time consumption being 6-7 mln c m.

Not receiving gas are filling stations and the Hrazdan Thermal Power Plant. Consequently, Armenia has stopped its electricity export to Georgia - 200,000 KW/h a day.

But unless the Russian gas supplies are restored by Jan 27 the company will have to impose tougher limits on the country's manufacturing enterprises.
