An EU-funded project on access to renewable and efficient energy in the municipalities of Vayk and Spitak in Armeniahas started work, aiming to support the municipalities to develop and test replicable models to save energy through the use of efficient measures and renewable sources in residential and public buildings.

On 17 May, the project organised a knowledge-sharing forum, as part of the Europe Day Information Week, organised by the EU Delegation to Armenia.

During the forum, more than 100 participants discussed issues concerning energy efficiency in apartment buildings and the importance of renewable energy.

EU Ambassador Traian Hristea stressed the importance of energy efficiency: "This project is an example, a demonstration of what possibilities there are and the potential of increased energy efficiency to benefit citizens. This project is meant to provide you with the possibility to make energy savings, which can be achieved by different options."
