One of the primary conditions of the tender is the tariff, with preference to be given to the company that will propose lower and competitive tariff.

The ministry expects that the circle of the applicants will be large, given the interest shown by numerous companies towards the initiative of constructing utility-scale solar power plant in Armenia at the investment forum held at the beginning of this year.
