6 FAQs about Armenia solar grid-connected power generation system

How is Armenia transforming its power generation mix?

Armenia is making progress in further diversifying its power generation mix, particularly by aiming to build significant solar PV capacity. Armenia's 2021 Energy Strategy calls for up to 1 000 MW of solar PV capacity by 2030, at which point grid-connected solar is expected to account for 15% of generation.

What will Armenia's Energy Strategy look like in 2021?

The 2021 Energy Strategy considers maximum use of the country's renewable energy potential to be a key policy priority. The Armenian government expects solar PV capacity to reach 100 MW by 2024 and 1 000 MW by 2030, and at that point to account for at least 15% of total generation. Some increase in wind is also expected.

How big is Armenia's solar power?

In 2017, Tamara Babayan, a sustainable energy expert, estimated the potential of Armenia's distributed solar power at 1,280 MW and almost 1,800 GWh in annual generation.

What is Armenia's energy system?

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 low.

Will Armenia's energy sector transition through 2040?

The Armenian government approved the Energy Sector Development Strategic Programme (hereinafter “Energy Strategy”) in January 2021, setting the path for the sector's transition through 2040. The publication and approval of this strategic document are welcomed and should form a useful basis for Armenia's future energy legislation.

Who is responsible for energy sector governance in Armenia?

The principal bodies involved in energy sector governance in Armenia include the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure (MTAI), which is responsible for overall energy policy-making, the Ministry of Environment, the Public Service Regulatory Commission (PSRC) and the Committee on Nuclear Safety Regulation (ANRA).
