Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Armenia Dmitry Mariyasin today declared that Armenia can and must take advantage of the opportunities that solar energy has to offer.

According to him, Armenia is one of the few countries in the world where there is a high ‘solar factor’, meaning Armenia can receive a lot of solar energy.

“Armenia must take advantage of this and raise the level of its competitiveness in the market,” he stated, adding that Armenia needs to reduce consumption at the level of each apartment and small enterprises and that for this the country needs innovative technologies.
