Armenia’s energy sector has moved from a severe crisis in the early 1990s to relative stability. A combination of policy, legal, regulatory, and institutional reforms have had good results. Improvements in operating efficiency such as a decrease in technical and nontechnical line losses, and a nearly 100 percent collection rate, have helped create commercially viable service providers; however issues related to energy supply, technology, subsidies, energy distribution, market operation and administration remain.
The electric power system of Armenia is considered to have significant potential for sustainable energy because of the presence of hydroelectric and other renewable energy sources. According to Western experts, if Armenia can increase production of renewable energy and reduce its cost, the dependence on expensive natural gas can be reduced.
The most advanced renewable energy technology in Armenia is found in the hydropower sector, both in the use of large-scale power (e.g. - waters of Lake Sevan) and the more recent installation of small, run-of–the-river hydropower plants (SHPPs) throughout the country.
Energy-efficiency investments are another potential area for consideration, for which financing from international donors may be available.
