Solar energy is widely available in Armenia due to its geographical position and is considered a developing industry. In 2022 less than 2% of Armenia’s electricity was generated by solar power. The use of solar energy in Armenia is gradually increasing. In 2019, the European Union announced plans to assist Armenia towards developing its solar power capacity. The initiat. . According to the , Armenia has an average of about 1720 (kWh) solar energy flow per square meter of horizontal surface annually and ha. . As of April 2019 ten 1 MW strong solar stations are installed. Solar and wind stations account for less than 1% of total installed electricity generation capacities. In April 2019 it was announced that German company Das En. In this article, we address the current state of solar energy in Armenia, potential investments and industrial developments in the solar energy sector. [pdf]

According to in 2015 electricity generation in Armenia increased since 2009 to nearly 8000 GWh, but still remains below 1990 levels. Also, in 2015 Armenia consumed more than twice as much natural gas than in 2009. lacks source, and heavily relies on the production of elect. Currently, Armenia is in the initial stages of developing a pilot project on battery storage, with plans for a utility-scale project with an estimated installed storage capacity of 1,200 MWh to be .

Armenia relies on imports of natural gas and oil for most of its energy needs, which exposes it to supply risks and dependence on a single supplier. As the government considers energy security and the development of indigenous sources to be of prime importance for the energy sector, renewables and efficiency measures are key areas.
Renewable energy resources, including hydro, represented 7.1% of Armenia’s energy mix in 2020. Almost one-third of the country’s electricity generation (30% in 2021) came from renewable sources. Forming the foundation of Armenia’s renewable energy system as of 6 January 2022 were 189 small, private HPPs (under 30 MW), mostly constructed since 2007.
It has been an observer to the Energy Community since 2011 and a member of the Eastern Partnership since 2009. Although Armenia’s energy demand averages more than 3 Mtoe (3.59 Mtoe in 2020) and the country does not produce any fossil fuels, it manages to cover 27% of energy demand with domestic energy production.
Lacking indigenous resources, Armenia imports natural gas and oil for most of its energy needs (78.6% of total energy supply in 2020), mainly from the Russian Federation (hereafter, “Russia”).
Armenia also has a large solar energy potential. Compared with other countries, the average annual energy flow is higher; therefore, there is large interest in this energy sector.
To synchronise its system with those of its neighbours and provide electricity at competitive prices, Armenia will have to open its relatively closed electricity market. The Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure (MTAI) is responsible for developing and implementing energy policy.

Concluding remarks Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is becoming an attractive thermo-mechanical storage solution for decarbonization, with the advantages of no geological constraints, long lifetime (30–40 years), high energy density (120–200 kWh/m 3), environment-friendly and flexible layout.
4.1. Standalone liquid air energy storage In the standalone LAES system, the input is only the excess electricity, whereas the output can be the supplied electricity along with the heating or cooling output.
Che et al. proposed to produce liquid air by using cold energy from the LNG regasification process on-site, after which the liquid air is transported to a cold storage room for electricity supply (through a direct expansion cycle) and direct cooling supply (−29 °C).
2.1. History 2.1.1. History of liquid air energy storage plant The use of liquid air or nitrogen as an energy storage medium can be dated back to the nineteen century, but the use of such storage method for peak-shaving of power grid was first proposed by University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1977 .
4.1.2. Cold/heat storage with liquids Different from solids for cold/heat storage, the liquids for cold/heat storage work as not only the heat storage materials but also the heat transfer fluids for cold/heat recovery (i.e., cold/heat recovery fluids).
