Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that Armenia is capable of transitioning from energy dependence to the status of an electricity exporter. According to him, with a sound strategy, the country will not only be able to fully meet its own needs but also supply energy abroad.

The high potential of renewable sources is cited as a key factor. Some regions record over 300 sunny days a year, which opens up wide opportunities for the development of solar generation. However, the main problem remains the lack of energy storage systems, in the development of which partners from the European Union are assisting. Projects for “green” hydrogen are also being discussed.

By the end of 2025, the country produced about 10 billion kWh of electricity — 6.7% more than the previous year. A significant share comes from thermal power plants and the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant, but the share of solar generation has already reached 16.3%. Authorities expect that combining Armenia's resources and EU technologies will accelerate energy transformation and enable exports.
