A map of solar and wind power plants has been approved, both on land and at sea, including in the liberated territories.
This was stated by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with local television channels on January 5, the editorial office reports.
“Currently, our main task is to expand our energy source reception capabilities. Because according to existing plans, by 2030, 6,000 megawatts, and by 2032, 8,000 megawatts of solar, wind, and hydro energy will be integrated into our system. This means we need to strengthen our energy system to accept and process this. This is called the 'Energy Grid',” the head of state noted.
President Ilham Aliyev stated that battery storage systems must also be built in parallel: “In the initial stage, we approached foreign companies to undertake this work as investors. But we saw that there was not much interest. That is, the first batteries with a capacity of approximately 250 megawatts are already being installed through the state, but there will be even more. Because, as I said, our short-term plans are to obtain 8 gigawatts of energy.”
