BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 8. When we celebrated
the opening of a new power plant in Mingachevir last year, we were
once again convinced that these two processes in Azerbaijan, namely
traditional generation capacities and renewable generation
capacities, should be carried out in parallel. Only then can we
achieve the desired result, said President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during his speech at the opening ceremony of Khizi-Absheron Wind
Power Plant in Baku, Trend reports.
''The generation capacity of the traditional power plant
commissioned in Mingachevir last year is approximately 2,000
megawatts, and today, Azerbaijan feels very comfortable in terms of
energy supply and energy security. A 230-megawatt solar power plant
was put into operation recently. Today, a 240-megawatt wind power
plant is under construction, and three solar power plants are
currently under construction in the liberated territories, in the
Jabrayil district. The total capacity of these three plants is 340
megawatts,'' President Ilham Aliyev noted.
