Global GridArmenia's energy mix and electricity
🇦🇲 In 2025, Armenia generated 8.62 TWh of electricity. The largest source was gas at 38%, followed by nuclear (31%) and hydro (22%). In total, 62% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 38% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 236 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), below the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Armenia the 49th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 7.03 TWh. Armenia exported 1.59 TWh more electricity than it imported.
Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 49%, from 5.78 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 54% to 62%. The biggest rise was in solar, from 0% to 9% of generation. The biggest fall was in gas, from 47% to 38%. Carbon intensity fell from 280 to 236 grams per kWh.

Energy security score
Strong. Armenia ranks 28th of 158 countries and 5th of 46 in Asia. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Armenia, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more. | n/a |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, gas, made 38%. | 79 |
| Little reliance on imported power Armenia exported more electricity than it imported, so it scores full marks. | 100 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 62% of generation. | 62 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 38% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 62 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
