BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 3. Azerbaijan
demonstrates a clear vision for the development of green energy,
the Director of Business Development at ACWA Power, Polina
Liubomirova, said, Trend reports.
She made the remark at the 12th Ministerial Meeting of the
Southern Gas Corridor Advisory Council (SGC) and the 4th
Ministerial Meeting of the Green Energy Advisory Council (GEAC) in
Baku
"ACWA Power is proud to be part of this process and looks
forward to contributing to the achievement of further development
goals. Our projects are not just about infrastructure; they are
about creating jobs, developing local supply chains, improving
energy security, and reducing carbon emissions. They also
strengthen Azerbaijan's role as a bridge between the European
Union, the Middle East, and Central Asia," she said.
Liubomirova noted that the country is undergoing a significant
transformation, from a recognized leader in the hydrocarbon sector
to a regional hub for green projects. With the active support of
the government, a solid foundation for this transition has already
been laid.
"In January this year, we successfully commissioned a 240 MW
wind farm, the largest in the region. It will provide electricity
to around 300,000 households in Azerbaijan. We are also at an
advanced stage of developing the Caspian water desalination project
with a capacity of 300,000 cubic meters per day," she noted.
According to her, the world is at a turning point today. Energy
demand continues to grow, while the need for decarbonization is
becoming increasingly urgent. The challenge is not simply to
increase generation, but to do so in a smarter, cleaner, more
efficient, and financially sustainable way.
