Five institutions based in Armenia, including kindergartens, a cultural center and a national polytechnic university, have already started using solar power plants of the Lithuanian solar energy company Solet and partners the OHM Energy.

On the 12th of December 2024, the opening event of the solar power plant project was held, which was attended by Torcyan Karapet, the Vice-Rector for Economic Activity and Infrastructure Management at the National Polytechnic University, and Avoyan Romik, the Director of the Institute of Energy and Electrical Engineering, and Armen Manukyan, the Head of the Investment Program Coordination, Economic Analysis and Monitoring Department of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia, and Solet together with representatives of the OHM Energy.

The director of the Energy Faculty of the National Polytechnic University shared that by 2026 the university will become 100 percent green, which will save 153 thousand euros every year. Until recently, these institutions were dependent on electricity only from the grid, and used natural gas or diesel fuel for heating. By participating in such projects and installing solar power plants, companies not only make an important contribution to the improvement of the environment, but also help the institutions located there to achieve the goals of education and community development.

It is estimated that the installed solar power plant with a capacity of 358 kW will supply more than 492 thousand kWh of electricity per year, which will ensure almost 90% of the annual electricity needs of these institutions.

The projects are implemented in accordance with the development cooperation program of the Environmental Project Management Agency (APVA) of the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania, financed by the Special Programme on Climate Change. Solet, together with its partners OHM Energy, also contributes part of the funds.
