“To achieve energy independence and reduce dependence on imported gas and gasoline, the future lies in solar power plants,” writes Narek Karapetyan, a member of the National Assembly from the ‘Strong Armenia’ faction, continuing.
“However, there is a well-known problem: solar power plants become useless at night, and this is the main barrier to fully replacing our imports with energy derived from the sun. In recent months, there has been a significant technological breakthrough. Batteries that store solar energy and distribute it to the population in the evening have begun to be produced from a raw material that is very common in our country - salt.
Sodium (salt) accumulators are very cheap and effective and can solve our country’s energy independence issue. The Indian company Reliance has invested $9 billion in this project and will be able to start addressing this issue by the beginning of next year.
The oil era is ending, the Azerbaijan era is ending. We just need to have large companies that will invest in developing this sector. Meanwhile, our state leader is nationalizing a cement factory and a sports hall built 40 years ago. Fortunately, kebabans are not yet nationalized.
