The Electro Power Systems Operator dispatches the grid; state-owned HVEN runs transmission and Electric Networks of Armenia distributes.

Markets & power exchanges

Regional grid

Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.

What does “Wholesale market” mean?

Power plants compete to sell electricity in a wholesale market or pool, dispatched by a system operator. Most consumers still buy from a regulated distribution company at approved tariffs.
