4 FAQs about Armenia Wind Solar and Storage Energy Docking Plan

Does Armenia have solar energy?

Armenia has significant solar energy potential: average annual solar energy flow per square metre of horizontal surface is 1 720 kWh (the European average is 1 000 kWh), and one-quarter of the country’s territory is endowed with solar energy resources of 1 850 kWh/m 2 per year. Solar thermal energy is therefore developing rapidly in Armenia.

What is the procedure for energy audits in Armenia?

The Procedure for Energy Audits is the norm-setting legal act that regulates energy audits in Armenia. This procedure was approved by Government Decree 1399-N of 31 August 2006 and revised by Decree 1105-N of 4 August 2011 and Decree 1026-N of 10 September 2015.
