YEREVAN. – Wind, solar, and geothermal sources of alternative energy are full of prospect in Armenia, “Clean Energy” NGO Board member Tigran Grigoryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

To note, this NGO was represented at the sixth annual DigiTec Business Forum that was held in capital city Yerevan on June 21 and 22.  

In Grigoryan’s view, the energy system in Armenia needs to be hybrid. That is, in parallel with the base stations—i.e. the nuclear power plant, or the thermal power plants—alternative energy should be developed, too.  

He also informed that wind energy stations, with a total capacity of 5,000 megawatts, can be built in Armenia at five to ten locations.    

To note, the total capacity of Armenia’s present-day power stations—including the nuclear power plant—is 1,500-1,800 megawatts. The investment value for building wind energy stations is one euro per watt.

A wind energy station is built in Armenia at Pushkin Pass.
