Events organized to raise Tavush residents` awareness of sustainable  energy technologies 

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.
