Karkar Geothermal Power Plant[edit source] The Karkar Geothermal Power Plant (GTPP) is a proposed project for the construction of the first geothermal power plant in Armenia. The plant will be situated at the Karkar site in the southernmost Syunik Province of Armenia. Initial studies envisage the costruction of a 28-30MW capacity geothermal power plant with an annual electric output of 250 million kW (2016). The Karkar GTPP will allow for the production of heat to be used in the heating of greenhouses, residential buildings and industrial sites. Commissioned in 2008-2009, the Karkar GTPP is a unique project in Armenia in that it doesn't possess an analogue in the region and positively differs from other energy producing power plants in its renewability of resources, independence from imported eenrgy sources, as well as in its minimal environmental impact.
