Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has not excluded Russia from building a new nuclear power plant to replace the aging Metsamor plant, emphasizing selection based on price, quality, and construction time. Armenia is considering multiple international proposals including from the US, France, China, and South Korea, with a decision expected by the end of 2027.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You need to rethink your energy strategy if you operate in Armenian energy or related sectors, as the government is open to diverse global nuclear partnerships, not just Russia. This opens a narrow window to influence early bids or position as a supplier amid a rare post-Soviet nuclear infrastructure renewal.
