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.
From 2006 to 2022, Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) was the sole electric power distributor in the country, and still provides electricity to most users. It is Armenia's largest employer and serves approximately 985,000 electric utility customers.
Newly tendered solar deals comprise 210 MW of capacity. The government expects solar PV capacity to reach 100 MW by 2024 and 1,000 MW by 2030. According to the MTAI, which oversees the energy sector, wind energy potential in Armenia is approximately 450 MW.
Armenia has limited energy resources and can meet only a fraction of the total demand for energy from domestic resources. Armenia does not have oil or natural gas reserves and is thus highly dependent on imported energy resources. It imports oil and petroleum products from Russia, Georgia, Iran, and Europe.
