Overview – Armenia energy profile – Analysis
Under the Law on Energy, small hydropower plants (HPPs) and other plants generating electricity from renewables are afforded feed-in tariffs for a period of 15 years from their licence date. The tariffs are specified on an annual basis to account for exchange rate fluctuations between the Armenian dram and a foreign currency (USD or EUR).
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

6 FAQs about [Armenia energy storage in plants]
What percentage of Armenia's Energy is renewable?
Renewable energy resources, including hydro, represented 7.1% of Armenia’s energy mix in 2020. Almost one-third of the country’s electricity generation (30% in 2021) came from renewable sources. Forming the foundation of Armenia’s renewable energy system as of 6 January 2022 were 189 small, private HPPs (under 30 MW), mostly constructed since 2007.
How has Armenia restructured its energy sector?
Prompted by a severe electricity supply crisis in the mid-1990s, Armenia has revamped its energy sector over the past 20 years. Parts of the sector have been privatised, some companies have been restructured, most households now have access to gas, and cost-reflective tariffs have been introduced.
Where does Armenia get its energy from?
Lacking indigenous resources, Armenia imports natural gas and oil for most of its energy needs (78.6% of total energy supply in 2020), mainly from the Russian Federation (hereafter, “Russia”).
How much energy does Armenia need?
It has been an observer to the Energy Community since 2011 and a member of the Eastern Partnership since 2009. Although Armenia’s energy demand averages more than 3 Mtoe (3.59 Mtoe in 2020) and the country does not produce any fossil fuels, it manages to cover 27% of energy demand with domestic energy production.
Why does Armenia need a single energy supplier?
Armenia relies on imports of natural gas and oil for most of its energy needs, which exposes it to supply risks and dependence on a single supplier. As the government considers energy security and the development of indigenous sources to be of prime importance for the energy sector, renewables and efficiency measures are key areas.
Can bioethanol production be exploited in Armenia?
Annual biogas potential of around 135 mcm is just beginning to be exploited, and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund recently produced an Assessment of Bioethanol Production, Potential Utilization and Perspectives in Armenia exploring possibilities for bioethanol production and presenting the concept to investors.
