European Union supports the implementation of the “EU for Yerevan Solar Community” project implemented by the Yerevan Municipality. Armenia Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund together with the Scientific Research Institute of Energy as a Consortium, participates in the “EU for Yerevan Solar Community” Project. The objective of the project is to reduce the energy consumption and associated emissions of greenhouse gases annually through supporting application of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures in multi-apartment buildings of Yerevan. R2E2 Fund experts conduct energy audit of buildings, calculation and modeling of solar installations and new lighting systems. Within the frame of “EU for Yerevan Solar Community” project, the standards for the selection of multi-apartment buildings are developed and testing (approbation) is conducted. More than 300 visits are made and 50 multi-apartment buildings are selected during the first stage of the project. Energy audit is currently conducted for the selected buildings, technical specifications of the street lighting systems and internal lighting systems are calculated relevant to European standards. Calculation and modeling /simulation of the required capacity of the solar PV plant is carried out for each building. R2E2 Fund supports the Municipality of Yerevan in the preparation of the Terms of References and in organizing tenders. At least 90 multi-apartment buildings will be selected within the scope of “EU for Yerevan Solar Community” project.
