ENA household tariffs for 2026
Households in Armenia buy electricity from Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) at rates set by the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) in decision 448-N. For 2026 the commission left household rates unchanged. All prices are per kWh and include VAT.
| Monthly consumption | Day | Night |
|---|---|---|
| 0–200 kWh | 46.48 ֏ | 36.48 ֏ |
| 201–400 kWh | 48.48 ֏ | 38.48 ֏ |
| > 400 kWh | 53.48 ֏ | 43.48 ֏ |
| Low-income families | 29.99 ֏ | 19.99 ֏ |
At night every band is exactly 10 ֏ cheaper than by day. Families registered as socially vulnerable pay a reduced rate of 29.99 ֏ by day and 19.99 ֏ at night.
How the 200 and 400 kWh bands work
Your band depends on the total you use in a month, day and night together: up to 200 kWh, 201 to 400 kWh, or more than 400 kWh. A small flat usually stays in the cheapest band, while a house with an electric water heater, an air conditioner or electric heating easily goes over 400 kWh in summer or winter.
Our calculator applies the rate of your band to every kWh of the month. At the 200 kWh mark that makes a jump: 200 kWh cost 9,296 ֏, while 201 kWh cost 9,744 ֏, so one extra kWh adds about 448 ֏ to the bill. unverified We have not confirmed in the text of decision 448-N that the band rate covers the whole month. If ENA charges the higher rate only on the kWh above each threshold, your bill will be a little lower than in the examples below. The rate printed on your bill shows which band you were in.
Day and night hours
Night consumption is recorded separately by a two-rate meter. The night rate traditionally applies from 23:00 to 07:00 unverified. We have not found the hours in the current PSRC decision, so check your bill or ask ENA before you move big loads to the night.
Every kWh moved to the night saves exactly 10 ֏. A 2 kW water heater that runs 3 hours a day at night instead of in the evening saves about 1,800 ֏ a month.
What a typical household pays
Monthly bills at 2026 tariffs for typical homes:
| Household | Day | Night | Band | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small flat | 120 kWh | 30 kWh | 0–200 kWh | 6,672 ֏ | 80,100 ֏ |
| Family flat | 250 kWh | 50 kWh | 201–400 kWh | 14,044 ֏ | 168,500 ֏ |
| House | 400 kWh | 100 kWh | > 400 kWh | 25,740 ֏ | 308,900 ֏ |
| House with electric heating | 700 kWh | 200 kWh | > 400 kWh | 46,132 ֏ | 553,600 ֏ |
| Low-income family | 120 kWh | 30 kWh | reduced | 4,199 ֏ | 50,400 ֏ |
A house that uses 500 kWh a month spends about 308,900 ֏ a year on electricity. That is the money a solar system can replace.
How to lower the bill
- Watch your band. If you are just above 200 or 400 kWh a month, LED lighting or a timer on the water heater can move you into a cheaper band.
- Use the night rate for heating water, the washing machine and dishwasher, and charging an electric car.
- Make your own electricity. Under net metering a home solar system sends its daytime surplus to the grid and takes it back at night, so the bill can fall close to zero. A 5.2 kW system covers a bill of up to 34,000 ֏ a month: see solar system prices for 2026.
