In Armenia, electricity generation increased by 7.3% year-on-year in January–March, reaching 2.8 billion kWh. These data are provided by the Statistical Committee of the country. The dynamics indicate an increase in the load on the energy system against the backdrop of stable domestic consumption and the operation of export-transit infrastructure.
The generation structure remained quite balanced, but with a clear dominance of traditional sources. Thermal power plants provided 44.1% of all generation, the nuclear power plant – 33.3%, hydroelectric power plants – 12%. Renewable energy continues to increase its presence: solar power plants provided 10.6%, while wind turbines still remain at a symbolic level – 0.02%.
Experts note that the increasing share of solar energy is gradually changing the structure of the energy balance, but base generation still relies on thermal power plants and nuclear power plants. In the coming periods, the key factor will be the system's ability to simultaneously maintain supply stability and increase the share of "green" energy without losing grid stability.
