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 competent strategy, the country will be able not only to fully meet its own needs but also to supply energy abroad.
The key factor is the high potential of renewable sources. In some regions, more than 300 sunny days a year are recorded, which opens up wide opportunities for the development of solar generation. At the same time, the main problem remains the lack of energy storage systems, in the development of which partners from the European Union are helping. 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%. The authorities expect that the combination of Armenia's resources and EU technologies will accelerate the energy transformation and enable exports.
