The specialized audit division of Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) identified multiple violations across various branches between June and September 2025. According to ENA, some findings contained elements of actions posing public danger and were reported to the Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia.
At the Sevan service zone of the Geghama branch, data from ENA’s internal systems revealed inflated billing totaling 22,850 kWh across 130 meters. This violation, recorded on August 29, was formally reported to the prosecutor’s office.
Further discrepancies were found in the Martuni zone of the Geghama branch, Ararat, Masis, and Artashat zones of the Araks branch, as well as the Gyumri, Artik, and Ani zones of the Ghars branch. These included overbilling of 84,297 kWh and underreporting of 11,160 kWh of solar energy. A report was filed with the prosecutor’s office on August 29.
On September 9 and 10, Armenia’s Investigative Committee launched criminal cases related to these findings. Preliminary investigations are ongoing.
In the Masis network, another inspection revealed that staff failed to enforce an official order to disconnect a business from electricity supply, allowing unpaid consumption to accumulate into a debt of 15,406,120 AMD.
Inspections in the same network also found that meter readings were not recorded for seven meters, incorrect data was logged in the ACBs database for two others, and 7,934 kWh were falsely added. This report was submitted on September 12.
In the Debed branch, both inflated and underreported consumption was detected. Analysis of 15 damaged meters showed 180 kWh of underreporting and 19,722 kWh of overbilling.
Additionally, about 13.5 million AMD in service-related debt accumulated in June–July due to the use of company vehicles for contractor operations. The report was sent to prosecutors on September 18.
In the Geghama branch, from December 2024 to August 2025, ENA’s drilling equipment was primarily used for contractor needs within the branch’s service area. This led to 10.53 million AMD in maintenance and repair costs, which internal analysis suggests could have been reduced to 180,000–240,000 AMD with proper oversight. This was reported on September 19.
In the Aghstev branch, employees were found to have worked for contractors during ENA-paid hours, resulting in material damage to the company. This violation was reported to the Prosecutor General’s Office on September 25.
