YEREVAN, DECEMBER 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The European Commission has
assessed the potential of renewable energy in Armenia, particularly
in the Sevan Lake basin. According to the European Commission, the
potential of small hydropower plants in Gegharkunik marz makes 119
million kwh annually.
Besides, monitoring of wind energy was implemented in the marz -
in the Semyonovka moutain pass. The monitoring has given a basis for
design and feasibility study of a wind power plant with the capacity
of 14.5 megawatts.
During the December 6 meeting with reporters, the RA minister of energy
Armen Movsisian said that Armenia's small hydropower plants currently
generate energy that meets 5% of the total demand of the country,
and this index will be increased to 10% within the next 2-3 years.
