DashtEnergo LLC plans to construct a solar photovoltaic complex with a total installed capacity of 10.5 MW in Dashtadem Settlement, Talin Municipality, Aragatsotn Region. The complex will consist of three solar power plants and will occupy an area of 16.71363 hectares.
On June 4, 2026, the second public hearing was held at the office of the administrative head of Dashtadem settlement regarding the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report for the construction of a 4.8-kilometer 110 kV overhead transmission line and two solar photovoltaic power plants with capacities of 1.4 MW and 2.45 MW (a combined capacity of 3.85 MW).
According to Decision No. 164-A of the Public Services Regulatory Commission of the Republic of Armenia, dated April 30, 2025, DashtEnergo LLC was granted an electricity generation license valid until May 1, 2047.
The license was issued for a 10.5 MW solar photovoltaic power plant, the construction of which will be implemented in phases.
The solar facility will be located on land owned by DashtEnergo LLC within the administrative territory of Dashtadem settlement. The land designated for the overhead transmission line is municipally owned.
The 1.4 MW solar power plant will be built on an area of 3.16646 hectares. It is planned to install 1,973 photovoltaic modules, each with a capacity of 640 W.
The 2.45 MW solar power plant will occupy 4.04717 hectares and will include 4,728 photovoltaic modules, each rated at 640 W.
The documentation submitted by the company states:
“During the operation of the solar power plant, damaged panels and other defective components will be generated. These will be stored in a designated enclosed storage facility, specifically in a metal container unit, until they are transferred to appropriately licensed organizations.
The imported solar panels are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, under which defective or damaged panels will be returned to the manufacturer for replacement.
Panels that become unusable after the warranty period will be accumulated in storage until opportunities emerge either for their export or for recycling within the Republic of Armenia, including through the establishment of specialized recycling companies.”
On May 12, 2026, the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Armenia issued a positive conclusion on the EIA report submitted for the construction of a third solar power plant with a capacity of 6.65 MW on a 9.5-hectare site.
According to the report, the project will include the installation of 13,579 photovoltaic modules, each with a capacity of 640 W.
A 9,100 kW substation is also planned to be constructed within the solar power plant area.
