ArmInfo. In Armenia, there are opportunities for the construction of solar power plants with a total  installed capacity of up to 1,000 megawatts.Chairman of the Public  Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) of the Republic of Armenia  Garegin Baghramyan stated on May 30 during the budget discussions in  the commissions of the National Assembly.  

However, as the head of the PSRC noted, at present there is no technology in Armenia for the  accumulation of electricity from solar energy facilities, despite  their rapid development in the world. For this reason, the PSRC is  preparing a regulatory project, according to which, if an investor  builds a solar power plant together with a storage unit, the  restriction of 1 thousand MW will not apply to it.  Baghramyan also  noted that solar energy facilities have the opportunity to refuse  price guarantees provided by power grids and start selling their  products to direct buyers, but in an amount not exceeding 30 MW, due  to the limited capacity of the energy infrastructure.
