Energy security – Armenia energy profile – Analysis

Armenia''s energy security has greatly improved since the gas and power supply crisis in the early to mid-1990s. During the crisis, energy sector management was dysfunctional, losses were extremely high, and the collection rate was below 50%. This resulted in acute supply shortages, with households receiving only a few hours of power per day.

Armenia 2022 – Analysis

Armenia''s energy system depends primarily on natural gas, nuclear and hydroelectricity. Natural gas is by far the largest contributor to total energy supply (TES), as well as the main energy carrier in total final consumption (TFC). Since the transport sector depends primarily on natural gas, the importance of oil in the economy is relatively

ARMENIA: Republic of Armenia Energy Sector Development

The power system of Armenia operates in conjunction with the power system of Islamic Republic of Iran which significantly increases the reliability of the Armenian power system. Besides, the

Climate Change and Energy in Armenia

Availability of the nuclear power plant will allow diversifying energy resources and reducing dependence on imported gas. The presence of a nuclear power plant in Armenia''s energy system is the only way to achieve the lowest level of greenhouse gas emissions, which also is consistent with the implementation of GoA''s long-term

Electricity sector in Armenia

In June 2016, the Armenian Parliament updated the law "On Energy Saving and Renewable Energy" which encourages the use of solar power in the country and allows users of solar installations of 150 kW or less to sell their excess energy back to the electrical grid.
