With over 73% of its energy imported, Armenia remains vulnerable to external shocks and political leverage. This white paper offers a compelling vision to transition away from these dependencies toward a self-sustaining and diversified energy model.

The latest policy paper, “Solving the Energy Trilemma: Armenia’s Transition to Energy Abundance” provides a roadmap for transforming Armenia’s energy landscape amid mounting geopolitical and environmental challenges.
