BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 9. Our largest solar
power plants are also being constructed in Jabrayil — three plants
with a total capacity of 340 megawatts, President of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev said at a meeting with residents who moved to the village of
Shukurbeyli in the Jabrayil district on May 9, Trend reports.
"Today, 340 megawatts would be sufficient to illuminate the
entirety of Garabagh. At the same time, considering that we have
already commissioned more than 300 megawatts of hydroelectric power
plants in Zangilan, Lachin, and Kalbajar, within approximately one
or two years the combined solar and hydropower generation capacity
of this region will reach nearly 700 megawatts. This will bring
tremendous benefits to both the country and employment. All
liberated territories are being connected with the rest of our
country through roads, airports, electricity lines, and water
infrastructure. We will also utilize the water resources of the
Khudaferin and Giz Galasi reservoirs, along with the electricity
generated there," President Ilham Aliyev said.
