Energy

The energy sector is one of the most operational and economically efficient sectors in Armenia. Armenia is able to fully meet its domestic energy needs. Since Armenia does not have its own fuel resources, much attention is paid to creating its own sources of renewable energy, such as hydro, wind and solar energy. Armenia produces enough electricity to meet domestic demand. It also trades with neighboring countries, exporting more than it imports. 31% of electricity generated is nuclear power, 28% hydropower, and 41% thermal power (using imported natural gas). In recent years, electricity production has totaled 7.7 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh). Electricity exports amounted to 1.31 billion kWh, while imports amounted to 0.15 billion kWh.
