The Public Services Regulatory Commission of Armenia has approved electricity tariffs for 2025, maintaining the current rates for consumers after a thorough review of all influencing factors.
During its session on December 30, the Commission decided that retail electricity prices supplied by the Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) CJSC will remain unchanged. This decision followed a comprehensive analysis of both positive and negative factors affecting tariff formation, concluding that there is no need to revise the rates.
For households, daytime tariffs will remain at 12 cents per kWh for consumption up to 200 kWh per month, 12.5 cents for consumption between 200 and 400 kWh, and 13.8 cents for consumption exceeding 400 kWh. Socially vulnerable families will benefit from a discounted rate of 7.8 cents per kWh. Nighttime tariffs across all categories will be 2.5 cents lower.
ENA will reduce electricity distribution tariffs by 5–15%, depending on the consumer category. For residential consumers, the distribution network's share of the total tariff is approximately 4.4 cents per kWh, constituting about one-third of the final cost. Additionally, under an agreement between ENA and the Commission, the allowable level of network losses will decrease from 7.5% to 7% starting February 1, 2025. Losses exceeding this threshold will not be included in the tariff structure.
The Commission also revised tariffs for enterprises within the energy system. New rates, effective February 1, 2025, will impact major power generation plants, service providers, and consumers who have not yet transitioned to the competitive electricity market.
As part of these adjustments, high-voltage networks transmitting electricity via 220 kV and 110 kV lines to distribution networks will see a 15% increase in tariff components. This rise is primarily due to increased debt repayments on loans used to modernize substations.
