During the years of II World War, nearly 50,000 kW of new electric power capacity was commissioned in Azerbaijan to ensure the reliable production of oil products, APA-Economics reports citing Russian media.
It is noted the production of oil products in Baku required very large energy resources. Therefore, from the very beginning of the war, intensive construction of power plants was carried out in the republic. In 1941, the Sumgayit-1 Thermal Power Plant was established — a 24,000 kW capacity condensing turbine and a 25,000 kW capacity heating turbine were put into operation.
Additionally, during the war years, the "Red Star" – "Zykh" and "Zykh-Gala" 110 kV power lines were built and commissioned, which significantly improved the reliability of power supply to the main oil trusts of Absheron and established dual power supply to the main transformer stations of the Azenergo power grid.
Furthermore, the new "Zykh" 110 kV substation was commissioned, and the entire Azizbeyov power network area, including Artyom Island (now Pirallahi), was converted to 35 kV voltage.
