With the support of Ucom, a new solar photovoltaic station with a capacity of 10 kW has been installed in the village of Shenavan in the Lori region. The station is intended to meet the energy needs of the local kindergarten and sports school. The commissioning of the solar station will significantly reduce the energy costs of the local budget. The produced energy, as well as the funds saved, will be directed to meet the heating needs of educational and sports institutions during the winter months, creating more comfortable and warm conditions for children and adolescents.
“For Ucom, the green agenda is not just a separate direction of corporate social responsibility, but an important part of our long-term strategy. This project in Shenavan is an example of that approach: through green technologies, we help the community reduce costs, increase energy independence, and create more comfortable conditions for children. We are confident that the real impact of business is measured not only by the services provided but also by the long-term value created for people, communities, and the environment,” said Ucom's CEO Ralph Yirikian.
“The availability of solar energy in Armenian communities has not only environmental but also socio-economic significance. The station installed in Shenavan is an excellent example of how green technologies can alleviate the burdens of local communities and directly invest in the future of children. We highly appreciate Ucom's responsible approach, which allows us to jointly contribute to the formation of energy independence and a sustainable environment in our regions,” said Sona Kalantyan, president of the NGO “Arevordi.”
The installation of the solar station is another step towards the development of renewable energy in the Lori region and addressing climate challenges. It will serve as a reliable and safe energy source for local educational institutions for many years to come.
Ucom and the NGO “Arevordi” have many years of experience in implementing joint programs. Within the framework of cooperation, the parties have implemented a number of projects, ranging from annual support for the international environmental festival “Arevordi” and the formation of eco-thinking among youth to the installation of energy-saving and renewable energy systems in remote communities. This collaboration is a successful example of how large businesses and civil society can unite efforts for the ecological and social empowerment of communities and a sustainable future.
