Sustainable energy, energy security and climate resilience in rural Armenia

By 2030, Armenia¿s target is to reach 15% of solar energy share within the total energy production, and the share of zero-emission power generation in the total to reach 54%. This is in compliance with the European Green Deal principles, which serve as a guidance and ambition scale for Armenia¿s path towards green recovery and sustainable development. Therefore, this Action will work in parallel with the regional EU support to Decarbonisation and Climate Adaptation in Armenia, ultimately aiming to put Armenia on track towards climate neutrality by 2050.This Action builds on the donor mapping and gap analysis carried out in the framework of the High-level Energy Efficiency Initiative at the beginning of 2019, the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) Implementation Roadmap, as well as the list of priority p…
