Wind power generates less than 1% of Armenia's electricity annually,[1] as there were only four wind farms in 2023[2] and less than 10 MW is installed.[3]
According to a study sponsored by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2002–2003, the theoretical wind power potential of Armenia is 4,900 MWe in four zones with a total area of 979 km2.[4] According to this research, the wind energy potential in Armenia is close to 450 MW.[5] The most promising areas for wind power plants are Zod pass, Bazum Mountain, Jajur pass, the territory of Geghama Mountains, Sevan Pass, Aparan, the highlands between Sisian and Goris, and the region of Meghri.[6]
However a reassessment by the Asian Development Bank is expected to be completed by 2025.[7]
