Minister Armen Movsissyan says “Our quality of life and economic security are dependent on a stable and secure supply of affordable energy” and he continues: “Encouraging the production and development of RE in Armenia is a very important part of the energy policy of the Republic. We expect that RE will come to play the same prominent role of supply in Armenia as in many EU countries”. |

Welcome to the Web Portal on Renewable Energy in Armenia
The portal aims to enhance the knowledge on renewable energy in Armenia with special focus on the Lake Sevan basin (Gegharkunik marz). It intends to increase the level of transparency and data exchange in the area. All interested parties will have free access to all data and information.
The main features include a database on renewable energy, assessments of the potential of the various renewable energy sources (hydro, wind, solar, geothermal etc.) as well as comprehensive description of legal framework, legislation, market and tariffs and other details related to Renewable Energy in Armenia.
The portal provides details on the renewable energy potential in the Gegharkunik marz, and for potential investors offers comprehensive feasibility studies on hydro and wind energy.
This web portal is created as a part of the European Unions “Support to the Energy Policy of Armenia (EuropeAid/120653/C/SV/AM)” project.
