Improving Energy Access in Armenia
Channel: Asian Development Bank
Date: 02/12/2022

While Armenia has made great strides in providing electricity to its almost 3 million inhabitants, the country remains heavily reliant on imports of oil and gas to meet its energy demands. Most of Armenia’s Soviet-era power infrastructure is in poor condition, leading to blackouts and technical and financial losses for its energy sector.

As one of Armenia’s largest development partners, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been helping Armenia improve power generation and transmission while reducing carbon emissions that exacerbate climate change. Watch now to learn how ADB has helped Armenia’s journey to more sustainable energy through both sovereign and private sector financing.
