 Armenia Renewable Energy Roadmap

Armenia Renewable Energy Roadmap arrangement took place in “Arthur’s” complex ( v. Arzakan,  Kotayk marz) in  June 25-26, 2011. It was organized by the Armenia Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund and Expomedia LLC centre. The Roadmap describes the utilization of technically affordable, economically and financially valuable RE potential for the generation of electrical, thermal and fuel energy, aimed to increase energy independence of the country and assist to solve global environmental problems. The Project involves envisaged targets for short-term, mid-term (2015) and long-term (2020) perspectives: at the same time proposing promoting policy elements, which were thoroughly discussed during the event.  This kind of project was developed for the first time in Armenia, where utilization opportunities of all the RE sources were offered comprehensively. Local and foreign   specialists took part in the development of the project. The project was financed by The World Bank Grant. RE technological problems, such as  construction of  “Low capacity plants”,  modern electrical transportation means, including problems relating  development level of current electro mobile, as well as, wind power network, Solar PV transformation and water heating, biomass,  thermal pumps, hydro-accumulating  stations, hydrogen plant and other issues were discussed  during the event.  Many officials from different state entities, NGO-s, financial institutions, as well as  scientists, businessmen, experts, investors were invited to participate in the event.  Dynamic discussions on the mentioned issues continued during two days. Armenia R2E2  Fund director T. Babayan,  WB “Renewable energy project” coordinator A.Marjanyan, A. Hambaryan from the  American University of Armenia, the president of Small hydro Power Assosiation  N. Nahapetyan,  officials from the Public Services  Regulatory Commission of the RA and  scientists, experts had speeches and presentations during the event.(more )

Armenia Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund (R2E2 Fund) and Expomedia Center of Exhibition Projects is happy to inform you that October 5-8, 2010 the second Renewable Energy Week International Conference will take place in Yerevan (Moscow House, 7 Argishti Str.).
Renewable Energy Week (RE Week) is organized by Armenia Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund and Expomedia Exhibition Projects Center.
The event is financed by R2E2 Fund with the support of the World Bank, Global Environment Fund and Armenian Government.
The Renewable Energy Week is a specialized event with participation of the leading experts in relevant fields, investors, researchers, as well as producers of RE equipment in Armenia and worldwide.
The Week will enable the opportunity to establish new contacts between RE industry participants, as well as receive information on recent technological and scientific achievements, investment opportunities in financial market and their application in Armenia.
During the RE Week the following issues will be discussed:
1.    Existing opportunities for the development of the RE and possible development strategies and promoting policy.
2.    Introduction of resources of renewable energy in Armenia and existing level of  their utilization, including small hydro power plants, wind power, bioethanol, solar power technologies, biogas, hydrogen energy, etc.
3.    Potential and development possibilities for the development of the RE in Armenia;
4.    Financial opportunities in Armenia.  
5.    Issues related to energy saving as an additional source of energy will be addressed and samples of energy saving technologies will be presented.
Renewable Energy Week will be conducted in a form of presentations, discussions and round tables. As a part of the Week the visits to sites and specialized exhibition will be organized.
 We are happy to invite you to participate in The Renewable Energy Week conference and exhibition.

Launch of the EU Armenia Renewable Energy web portal

The first Armenian Renewable Energy web portal designed with EU support to encourage the development and financing of renewable energy in Armenia was launched on 6 December 2007 by Minister of Energy Mr. Armen Movsissyan together with Charge d’affaires - Delegation of the EC to Armenia Mr. Raul De Luzenberger. 

Image 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”.
Mr. Raul de Luzenberger stresses that “This portal is a way for Armenia to be proactive and open in responding to changes in energy technology while protecting the environment. It also supports other initiatives by the European Union to explore the feasibility of developing renewable and clean energy in Armenia.” Image

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.
