WHETHER WE WILL HAVE SUCH HYDRORESOURCES TO PRODUCE 30% OF ELECTRICITY IN REPUBLIC IN 2025?

Under the studies, Armenia has its own sufficient resources of
renewable hydropower, the use of which will enable to meet the demand
of electricity consumption by 30% in 2025. This statement was made
by Deputy Energy and Natural Resources Minister Hayk Harutyunyan at
the conference devoted to renewable energy, as the official website
of Energy and Natural Resources Ministry informs.
Hydroresources are currently the most common renewable reserves. In
2013 the hydropower ensured around 29% of the annual consumption of
the electricity in Armenia.
It's a big question to what extent it will be possible to increase
electricity production volumes at the expense of hydroresources in
further years, as the climate change processes in Armenia resulted
in the lack of water.
The Second National Communication on Climate Change says that the
river flow in Armenia will reduce by 6.7% by 2030, 14.5% by 2070 and
24.4% by 2100. Even now the lack of the river flow has been recorded,
and their indicators excel the figures laid down in the forecasts.
Under the data provided by the Hydrology Center for Hydromet Service,
the water flow in the Akhuryan river basin made up 15-20%, 20-30% in
Qasakh, 50% in the Hrazdan river basin in April, 22% in May and 30%
in June.
