DEVELOPMENT NEWS ARMENIA'S POWER SECTOR
Natural gas is the main energy source in Armenia (55%), followed by nuclear (23%), oil (10%), hydropower (6%) and biofuels and waste (6%). Nearly all gas consumed in Armenia is imported from Russia by pipeline through Georgia. Households are the main final consumers of energy and the largest consumers of natural gas and electricity.

Natural gas is the main source of energy in Armenia, accounting for
Although Armenia does not produce any fossil fuels, the country covers
36%
of its energy demand with domestic energy production. This country produces nuclear, hydro energy, as well as biofuels and waste (1.1 Mtoe in total in 2015).
All fossil fuels need to be imported. Natural gas represents the largest share of Armenia’s energy imports:
1.9 Mtoe
of 2.2 Mtoe in 2015, followed by oil products. Armenia exports small amounts of electricity.
3.1m tons
of oil equivalent (Mtoe) used by Armenia in 2015. This corresponds to 1.0 toe of energy consumption per capita per year. With 1.0 toe of fuel, a car can make 15 round trips between the Northern and
Southern border points of Armenia*. * Diesel car – Avg consumption on 6.5 litres/100 km

Although Armenia’s energy mix is dominated by gas, the electricity mix is well diversified in comparison to many of its neighbors.
