NAKHCHIVAN, Azerbaijan, February 13. New
projects worth 5 million euros will be implemented for
municipalities in Azerbaijan under the EU's Global Covenant of
Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM) initiative, said Maksym
Vereshchak, Coordinator for Local Sustainable Development under the
GCoM East initiative, Trend reports.
Speaking at an event in Nakhchivan on the “Covenant of Mayors -
Eastern Partnership” initiative, Vereshchak noted that support is
being provided to six municipalities in preparing these
projects.
“We have conducted energy audits of residential and public
buildings to make the projects ready for financing. As a result, we
now have 11 documents for 11 buildings that can be presented to
potential investors. The total value of these projects exceeds 5
million euros,” he said.
Vereshchak added that the projects will be implemented in
Mingachevir, Khirdalan, Shaki, Yevlakh, Ganja, and Shamakhi.
“This includes three residential buildings in Mingachevir, one
school and one kindergarten in Khirdalan, three kindergartens in
Shaki, and two schools and one kindergarten in Yevlakh. These
projects will allow municipalities to save about 200,000 euros
annually,” he said.
He also emphasized that the initiative will save 3,300
megawatt-hours of electricity, reducing carbon emissions by 660
tons per year.
