ArmInfo. The public organization "Compass" is launching a series of information events in Armenia to raise awareness of the residents of the Tavush region about sustainable energy technologies and popularize their use. This is stated in the message of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of the Republic of Armenia.
In particular, we are talking about grant programs financed by the Energy Efficiency Support Fund, which are aimed at implementing small-scale renewable energy measures in public buildings and pilot projects for the use of insulation components at the household level. The events will start on December 6 in the cities of Ijevan and Dilijan.
The main goal of the events is to provide residents of the Tavush region with knowledge about energy efficiency and sustainable energy technologies, aimed at developing practical skills in their application. Participants will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the theory of innovative solutions, such as solar panels, thermal insulation, energy-efficient lighting and other technologies. As part of the program, participants will learn how to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs and simultaneously support the environment. The master classes are designed to cover all age groups, with the active participation of young people and schoolchildren as leaders of the new era of technology being especially important.
The grant program is implemented within the framework of the projects "EU for Energy Efficiency and Environment" and "Sustainable Management of Natural Resources and Conservation of Ecosystem Services in Rural Areas of the South Caucasus", which is financed by the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development and implemented by the German Society for International Cooperation.
The Armenian government intends to increase the share of solar energy in the country's energy balance to 15% by 2030. It is planned to build additional solar power plants with a capacity of up to 500 MW, which, if necessary, will be combined with storage stations. Along with this, wind power plants will also be built. It is planned to increase the total capacity of solar and wind power plants to 2000 MW by 2040.
