Yerevan energy storage system energy saving equipment

Installation of solar energy plants in administrative buildings The total energy consumption of administrative buildings of the Municipality of Yerevan and 12 administrative districts during the baseline year of 2012 amounted to: electrical energy — 4111.7 MWh, natural gas — 489.55 thousand nm3 or 4497.0 MWh.

The expected aggregate energy saving impact of the above mentioned programs in Yerevan is estimated at 830.4 MWh/year which is equal to 2.42% of the total energy consumption of the sector in the Base Year.

The Yerevan Thermal Power Plant, the equipment of which has exhausted its operational resources (the 1stunit was launched in 1963), and the new combined steam-and-gas unit of the TPP, which has high energy performance with net electrical efficiency of about 49%, are located in the territory of the urban municipality.

Street and outdoor lighting system is financed from the municipal budget and is a large energy consumer. During the last 5-6 years, the outdoor lighting system of Yerevan underwent significant qualitative and quantitative changes.
