Aside from the difficult living conditions, they also have limited access to electricity, but OUR ACTIONS CAN CHANGE THE SITUATION.

By supporting the project, we can solve the issue of free electricity in Kert, Spitakashen, Berdashen, Chartar, and Martuni.

Energy consumption is a serious social burden not only for the people in Artsakh, but also for the government, local authorities, and business entities.

Five schools in the Martuni region are facing the same problem. Photovoltaic power stations should be installed on the roofs of school buildings.

With the implementation of the project, schools and related public buildings will have FREE AND PERMANENT ELECTRICITY.

Lack of electricity and bad weather conditions do not stop students. 

They volunteer to help with the school's wood-cutting activities in order to continue their classes in heated classrooms.

Lack of electricity and bad weather conditions do not stop children.

Besides studying in difficult conditions, the children also volunteer to help operate the school boiler. By the way, the use of wood has serious negative effects on the environment.



We can change the reality so that students won't have to be involved in such activities, to which they are now unable to remain indifferent.

During the war, the settlements of the Martuni region were bombed several times a day. As a result, the energy infrastructure of Martuni was destroyed.

Although the war ended two years ago, power outages still occur even today, and the issue has not been resolved.

Among the five schools in Martuni region are:

The Martuni Youth Center was established to bring the youth of Martuni together.

The Equal Opportunities NGO was founded in 2020. The organization's mission is to promote socioeconomic, educational, cultural, and public life in the Martuni region's communities. The founders are sure that equal possibilities will be created for everyone throughout Artsakh.

Viun is a project and campaign management agency engaged in the promotion and distribution of the "Solar schools in Artsakh" project.

GS Energy built 17 solar power plants with a total capacity of 180 kW, installed 35 water heaters, and performed a lot of power supply work.

It is planned to install on-grid systems in four of the schools. These systems don’t need batteries as they work in combination with the electrical network.

In one of the schools, it is planned to install a hybrid solar inverter, which is a full version of "on-grid" and "off-grid" systems. In contrast to a grid inverter, an "off-grid" solar inverter is not connected to the electrical grid and operates independently. It will ensure energy independence in the given school and village.

Photovoltaic power stations will produce more than 93 thousand kilowatts of energy each year.

The goal of the "Solar Artsakh" project is to supply solar energy to Artsakh communities and produce and consume solar energy. This will help to achieve energy independence in Artsakh and solve various community problems.

"Solar Schools in Artsakh” is the second project implemented within the framework of this program. Check out the first project here.
