Controlled by a subsidiary of Russian company Inter RAO UES, Armenia’s power grid, the Armenian Electricity Network, said last month it would raise electricity prices by up to 22 percent due to the devaluation of national currency. Protesters say the new energy prices, which are expected to come into effect on August 1, will be unaffordable. They also blame the increase on mismanagement and corruption within the Network.
