"In general, I can say that the upgrade, modernization, and development of the energy system in Azerbaijan has been identified as one of the top priorities in recent years, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during his speech at the opening ceremony of the 240 MW “Khizi-Absheron” Wind Power Plant, APA reports.
"It is possible to say that over the past 20 years, our energy system, namely our generation capacities, large-scale substations, and transmission lines, has been completely renovated. Over the past 20 years, the generation capacities created in our country have increased by about three times compared to the entire previous period. Today, our generation capacity constitutes approximately 10,000 megawatts. This, if we may say so, is a historical record. However, given that many new renewable energy generation capacities will be put in place in the coming years, this figure will certainly increase and will enable us to both meet the growing domestic demand adequately and export electricity in larger volumes," President Ilham Aliyev said.
