Ms Bilyana Chobanova, Senior Expert, led the effort of the Energy Charter Secretariat and was part of the review team that also comprised Government officials from countries that are Parties to the Protocol on Energy Efficiency and Related Environmental Effects (PEEREA). The review team was chaired by Mr Johan Vetlesen, Deputy Director General of the Norway Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, and included officials from the countries of Romania and Latvia.

In recent years, the country of Armenia has made progress in delivering energy efficiency through the implementation of policies and programmes, with decoupling of GDP and energy consumption growth being observed. Several strategies and action plans, underpinned by the 2013 National Energy Security Concept, are in place to develop the energy sector and advance energy efficiency. Important for energy efficiency action has been the Law on Energy Saving and Renewable Energy (2004), providing the basis for more detailed programmes and plans. 

The in-depth review report identifies where measures are working and need to be continued or strengthened. It also identifies a number of areas in various sub-sectors that need attention if the cost-effective potential of energy efficiency is to be tapped for the benefit of the economy and citizens of Armenia.

The In-depth Review of Energy Efficiency Policy Armenia is available in English and Russian.
