BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 6. LED technologies
are used to light Azerbaijan's liberated areas, the Ministry of
Energy said in a statement, Trend reports.
In accordance with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev's policy
on the development of the liberated territories as a Green Energy
Zone, along with the expansion of the use of renewable energy
potential in the Karabakh and East Zangezur economic regions, the
application of modern technologies that ensure energy efficiency is
also being consistently implemented.
In this context, LED technologies, which are distinguished by
their low energy consumption, long service life, and low
maintenance costs compared to traditional lighting systems, are one
of the main factors ensuring the sustainable development of green
energy zones. As an integral part of the infrastructure of modern
urban planning and settlements, LED-based and solar-powered hybrid
lighting systems are currently widely used in liberated areas.
So far, more than 7,000 LED-based lighting devices have been
installed in these areas. Approximately 40 percent of them, or
3,000 units, are solar-powered hybrid systems. LED technologies are
mainly used in the lighting of newly constructed streets and
highways in Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Zangilan, Shusha, Khojaly,
Lachin, Aghdara, and other cities and districts.
In a number of settlements, light poles equipped with
monocrystalline solar panels and operating in autonomous mode have
been installed, which allows minimizing dependence on the
centralized power grid. As the restoration and reconstruction work
continues in stages, these figures are expected to increase further
in the coming years.
According to international practice, street lighting in
residential areas accounts for approximately 2-5% of total
electricity consumption. In recent years, this figure has been
halved in a number of countries as a result of the transition to
LED and solar-based systems.
