Armenia Achieves Solar Energy Goals, Surpassing the Armenia solar energy target Armenia has dramatically accelerated its transition to renewable energy, achieving its strategic target of 1,000 MW of solar power capacity four years ahead of its original 2030 schedule. This remarkable milestone. Armenia has significant solar energy potential: average annual solar energy flow per square metre of horizontal surface is 1 720 kWh (the European average is 1 000 kWh),and one-quarter of the country's territory is endowed with solar energy resources of 1 850 kWh/m 2 per year. Solar thermal energy. Renewable energy resources, including hydro, represented 7. 1% of Armenia's energy mix in 2020. Forming the foundation of Armenia's renewable energy system as of 6 January 2022 were 189 small, private. In recent years, the field of solar energy in Armenia has developed rapidly, solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 1,045 megawatts are already connected to Armenia's power system, exceeding the target set by the national strategy, this progress has been facilitated by state policies. Solar energy is widely available in Armenia due to its geographical position and is considered a developing industry. In 2019, the European Union. Armenia's installed solar capacity has reached 1 GW, and the government is likely to replace its subsidy program for standalone solar projects with one focused on hybrid and storage systems, according to the nation's infrastructure ministry.
