Abstract
The main trends in the development of renewable energy in Armenia are considered in the context of the challenges of sustainable development and energy transition. It is established that the development of renewable energy is one of the key directions of diversification of Armenia’s energy security system. The main direction of development of the industry is identified. In particular, opportunities for the development of solar, wind, geothermal and bioenergy are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the potential of development of small hydropower in Armenia. It is shown that the full and systematic development of the mentioned industries is possible only in case of effective state-private partnership. External risks of solar and wind energy development in Armenia are considered separately.
Keywords: Armenia, renewable energy sources, energy transition, security, diversification.
