Armenia Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund director Armen Melkikyan, “Agba Leasing” UCO CJSC director Arsen Bazikyan and “Global Credit” UCO CJSC director Luiza Igraryan signed “Energy Efficiency Improvement Project” for non-gasified communities in Armenia. The objective of the project is to improve energy efficiency in nearly 280 communities of Armenia and make investments for the development of clean energy through financial institutions.
About 37 thousand households are not gasified in Armenia. They are not included in the gasification projects due to their economic inefficiency. In order to improve the living conditions of the population in the communities, a working group was formed headed by the Minister of Energy infrastructures and Natural Resources of the RA Ashot Manukyan by the decision of the Prime Minister of the RA Karen Karapetyan. The representatives of different agencies, as well as the experts of the R2E2 Fund were included in the working group. Targeted measures aimed at solving the gasification issues in the communities have been developed, on the basis of which the contract will be implemented.
