Project Objective:

The main purpose of the project activity is generation of clean hydroelectric energy and contribution to climate change mitigation efforts.


Project Description:

The proposed project activity involves implementation and operation of 5 small hydroelectric grid connected renewable energy projects with total capacity 6.81 MW. The SHPPs will be located Gegharkunik and  Vayots Dzor regions of Armenia. The purpose of bundling the nine project activities is to reduce transaction costs and documentation preparation costs for each of the small scale power plants. The electricity generated by the small hydropower plants will be sold to the Armenian Electricity Network (AEN).

The hydro-energy characteristics of Ayrk-1 SHPP are as follows:

  • Gross head - 90,4 m
  • Design capacity -0,361 MW
  • Average annual energy production - 1.212 million kWh
  • The number of units - 2

The hydro-energy characteristics of Ayrk-2 SHPP are as follows:

  • Gross head -77,7 m
  • Design capacity -0,311 MW
  • Average annual energy production - 1,47 million kWh
  • The number of units - 2

The hydro-energy characteristics of Avazan 1-2 SHPPs are as follows:

  • Gross head - 72.8 m
  • Design capacity - 0,291 MW
  • Average annual energy generation - 1.83 million kWh
  • The number of units - 2

The hydro-energy characteristics of Erik SHPPs are as follows:

  • Gross head - 102.3 m
  • Generation capacity - 3.5 MW
  • Average annual power generation - 15 million kWh
  •  The number of units - 3

The main characteristics of the Jermuk-2 SHPP are:

  • Gross head - 81.95 m
  • Generation capacity - 2.35 MW
  • Average annual power generation - 10.2 million kWh
  •  The number of units - 2

Project Status:

The project is undergoing validation by a DOE.

Project Timing: The project implementation started in September 2008.
