Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Thursday that the country’s planned modular nuclear power plant may not meet his country’s growing energy needs, state news agency Armenpress reported.

The premier told a press briefing that discussions continue within the government on the construction of a new nuclear power plant, and the country had an electricity surplus over a year ago.

But “one year later, Armenia has become a country with an electricity deficit. The fact that two AI factories have been established is not the issue. The issue is that the investment programs that have already been approved are of such a scale that Armenia now has an electricity deficit,” he said.
