Summary: Armenia is rapidly embracing wind energy to diversify its energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This article explores the growth of grid-connected wind power systems in Armenia, supported by policy shifts, investment trends, and real-world projects like the Aparan. In December 2005,for the first time in Armenia and in the Caucasus a grid-connected wind-power plant with capacity of 2. 6 MWwas put into operation at Pushkin Pass. Will Acciona Energy SL build a wind power plant in. Renewable energy resources, including hydro, represented 7. Almost one-third of the country's electricity generation (30% in 2021) came from renewable sources. In 2003, the Wind Energy Resource Atlas of Armenia was drawn. According to it, economically reasonable wind power potential is estimated at 450 MW total installed capacity and at electric power output of 1. The main promising locations are the Zod (Sotk) Pass, Bazum Range, Pushkin. The objective of this assignment is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the legal and regulatory framework governing the energy sector in Armenia, with a specific focus on in particular the large scale wind power development projects.
