Armenia''s green energy transition: Solar power capacity set to
Several large-scale solar power plants have come online in recent years, significantly contributing to the growth of solar energy production. The Masrik-1 Solar Plant,
Solar power potential in Armenia is 8 GW according to the Eurasian Development Bank. The reason for this is that average solar radiation in Armenia is almost 1700 kWh/m 2 annually.
The reason for this is that average solar radiation in Armenia is almost 1700 kWh/m 2 annually. One of the well-known utilization examples is the American University of Armenia (AUA) which uses it not only for electricity generation, but also for water heating. The Government of Armenia is promoting utilization of solar energy.
According to the Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources of Armenia, Armenia has an average of about 1720 kilowatt hour (kWh) solar energy flow per square meter of horizontal surface annually and has a potential of 1000 MW power production.
Urban explorers have found an abandoned Soviet telescope perched high up in the Armenian mountains. Eerie footage from the Herouni Mirror Radio telescope and its control buildings, built in 1985, shows dust covered mirrors, piles of cracked tubes in what appears to be an observation room and the dormant telescope.
