Scientific Research Institute of Energy

 

The history of Scientific Research Institute of Energy (SRIE) has begun since 1948. From the period of 1948 – 1963 it acted within the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia as a Laboratory of Electrical Engineering and then as an Institute, and since 1961 as the Institute of Energy. During 1963-1992 the Institute was under the structure of the Ministry of Energy and Electrification of USSR. In those years, a number of departments were separated from the Institute on the bases of which have been founded 4 Research Institutes. SRIE was operating within the RA Ministry of Energy since 1992 and since 2008 - within the RA Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and has Energy Strategy Centre.

The main directions of SRIE activities:

Forecast of the Development of Energy System:

  • Data gathering and analysis of the statistical information on the demand of electricity and thermal energy,
  • Forecasting of the electricity and thermal energy demand in the economy sectors and sub-sectors,
  • Studies on energy sector development strategies,
  • Development of the business plans for the Energy Facilities.
