BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 19. For the first time,
35/0.4 kilovolt power networks are being built in Karabakh, Araz
Mammadzade, Director of the Training and Innovation Center of
"Azerishig" OJSC, told Trend on the sidelines of WUF13.


He noted that certain changes and improvements are being made to
the management system to achieve this.


"We are primarily developing a special digital system for the
integration of renewable energy sources in Karabakh," Mammadzade
said. "We intend to introduce the same concept for the Nakhchivan
power networks as well. On the other hand, to protect energy
efficiency and increase operational flexibility for the newly
resettled population in Karabakh, we have created artificial
intelligence-based platforms in our dedicated call center. Through
these channels, we aim to utilize the predictive capabilities of
AI."


The "Azerishig" official stated that these 35/0.4 kilovolt
networks are being established exclusively in Karabakh.


"There will be no 6-10 kilovolt networks there," he added.







The third day of the 13th session of the World Urban Forum
(WUF13) is underway in Baku.


On the first day, a ministerial meeting dedicated to the New
Urban Agenda, a roundtable of ministers, assemblies of women and
civil society, business sessions, and discussions on urban
well-being were held. A ceremony for raising the flags of the
United Nations and Azerbaijan also took place within the framework

The second day of the forum drew attention with the first-ever
Leaders Summit. High-level discussions on the global housing
crisis, urbanization policy, and urban resilience were held that
day. At the same time, the Mexico City pavilion was inaugurated
within the framework of WUF13. The pavilion was presented as an
important platform for expanding cooperation with the Latin
American region and preparing for WUF14.
