Armenia produced 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2025, according to Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Davit Khudatyan.

“I would not like to present a detailed breakdown of our main generation capacities. I will mention only one type of generating capacity—solar power plants,” he said in parliament.

“Last year, 16.3% of Armenia’s total electricity production in the energy system was generated by solar power plants. Experts will confirm that this is a significant figure, and I would like to thank our partners who, despite the absence of energy storage facilities in Armenia, have managed to ensure the flexibility of the country’s energy system,” the minister said.

Khudatyan also noted that in 2025, compared to 2024, total electricity production increased by 6.7%.

“I am also pleased to note that electricity consumption in Armenia has increased, reaching 7.2 billion kilowatt-hours, with a growth rate of 6.6%,” he said.

The minister added that 33.3% of total electricity production last year was sold on the liberalized market, representing a 27.3% increase. In the liberalized electricity market, around 111,000 transactions were concluded, marking a 432% increase.
