DAVOS, Switzerland, January 21. Diversification
of the economy for our country is the number one priority. From a
practical point of view, today we see a growing interest in
renewable sources, said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he
responded to questions from business representatives from various
countries during an event titled “Azerbaijan Executive Breakfast,”
held as part of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in
Davos, Trend's special correspondent reports.
“We have already inaugurated two big renewable power stations.
In the coming six years, we will dramatically increase our capacity
to generate energy from solar and wind. In other words, by 2032, we
expect to have eight gigawatts of solar and wind energy, because
there is a lot of sun and a lot of wind, and we see great
potential. We have already contracted several projects, and now we
are thinking about storage capacity,” the head of state noted.
