In the EE project framework, Armenia Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund has implemented the following ESMs in Mrganush community of Ararat region, RA.
Improvement of external artificial lighting system
As part of the project, an artificial street lighting system containing 8 high-
pressure sodium (DnAT) 250W lamps and 12 compact fluorescents (CFL) 90W
lamps were replaced with 20 energy-efficient 50W LED light bulbs. The external artificial lighting system was connected to the common electrical meter of the community administraton building and the culture house. The annual savings will be 3,687 kWh, and the yearly reduction in CO₂ emissions will be 2 tons.
Installation of solar photovoltaic system in community-owned facilities
To reduce energy consumption, a solar photovoltaic system with a total capacity of 30 kW was installed on community facilities' roofs. The capacity of the installed system was estimated according to the energy consumption of the community- owned facilities. The annual savings will be 45,000 kWh, and the yearly reduction in CO₂ emissions will be 20 tons.
