Viva Cell-MTS jointly with FPWC within "Alternate Energy" program  framework, provide Armenian villages outer illumination systems 

ArmInfo. The Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) and VivaCell-MTS have summed up the results of yet another joint program  implemented within the framework of The Alternative Energy Project.  An outdoor lighting system, consisting of 65 LED lamps, has been  installed in Horbategh community of Vayots Dzor region.  As a result  of the implemented project, the whole territory of the community has  been provided with a street lighting system along 2.300 m area.

The environmentally friendly and energy-efficient systems are used  for the first time. The Founder of FPWC Ruben Khachatryan,  VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian, head of Horbategh  community Gagik Sandrosyan, and community residents attended the  launch of the system.   

"The thing we try to do with this program is crucially important.  This is a challenge and if we overcome it the result will be more  than just providing lighting. Civilized and farseeing world strives  to downgrade consumerist approach. This, basically, is the shortest  and most efficient way of reducing poverty and improving people's  lives. Launching environmentally friendly energy saving system and  its long term results are beneficial for everyone," said VivaCell-MTS  General Manager Ralph Yirikian.

According to the source, in the summer the floodlights will  illuminate the village from 21:00 to 00:00, in the winter time - from  18:00 to 23:00, and during the holidays the coverage will be provided  for the whole night.

The village has 262 inhabitants.
