Jradzor Small Hydroelectric CDM project

Jradzor Small Hydroelectric CDM project

The Jradzor Small Hydroelectric Project is a pioneering initiative located in the pristine landscapes of Armenia, designed to harness the power of the Jradzor River to generate clean, renewable electricity. This project is a vital contributor to reducing Armenia’s reliance on fossil fuels, generating over 20 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually. By displacing fossil fuel-based power, the Jradzor project significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, making a meaningful contribution to global climate change mitigation.

Empowering Communities 

The impact of the Jradzor project extends beyond environmental benefits. It plays a pivotal role in fostering sustainable development in the local community. Through this initiative, more than 20 rural residents have been trained and employed, gaining valuable skills and stable livelihoods. This has revitalized the local economy, providing long-term socio-economic benefits to an area that has historically relied on less sustainable sources of income.

Ongoing Commitment to Sustainability

All proceeds from the sale of Certified Emission Reductions generated by the Jradzor project will be reinvested to enhance the plant’s efficiency. This reinvestment aims to increase the generation of clean energy while reducing resource consumption, ensuring that the project continues to contribute to sustainable development and environmental protection for years to come.

By supporting the Jradzor Small Hydroelectric Project, you are directly contributing to the fight against climate change while empowering a rural community in Armenia. Your involvement helps sustain a project that not only produces clean energy but also creates lasting, positive change in the lives of local people. Join us in advancing towards a greener and more sustainable future.
