In a few days, Armenia will launch the second program to extend the operating life of its Metsamor nuclear power plant by an additional 10 years, until 2036, Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Davit Khudatyan said on Wednesday.

The plant’s lifespan was previously extended by 10 years in 2016, until 2026.

“In just a few days, the second extension program will begin, which will extend the plant’s operating life by an additional 10 years. A budgetary loan of 63.2 billion AMD has been allocated from the state budget to the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant,” Khudatyan said at a parliamentary committee hearing on his ministry’s 2025 performance report under the 2021–2026 government action plan.
