Armenian Government Moves to Acquire Electric Networks of Armenia After License…
What happened
The Public Services Regulatory Commission terminated Electric Networks of Armenia's electricity distribution license on November 17, 2025, and again on October 16, 2026. Following the termination, the Armenian government adopted a decision recognizing all shares of Electric Networks of Armenia as subject to overriding public interest. This action paves the way for a potential acquisition of the electricity distribution company.

Why it matters
The government stated that its objective is to place the company under the management of a leading international operator. While the decision does not require immediate additional government funding, the government acknowledged that future state or local budgets may need to allocate funds to compensate shareholders for the acquisition.
