BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 1. The very
intensive work is currently underway with bp on
the construction of the ‘Shafag’ Solar Power Plant (SPP) in
Jabrayil, with an initial investment value of $200 million and a
capacity of 240 megawatts (MW), as well as the ‘Ufug’ and ‘Shams’
SPP projects, each with a capacity of 50 MW, Director of the State
Agency for Renewable Energy Sources Javid Abdullayev told Trend in an interview.
He noted that all contracts have been signed, land plots have
been identified, and network-related matters are completely clear,
and work is being carried out daily toward their
implementation.
“These plants are planned to be commissioned by the end of
2027.
Concurrently, the requisite framework is being developed for the
electrification of the Sangachal terminal. The comprehensive
contractual architecture has been conclusively established. This
was an intricate and multifaceted procedure. The successful
execution of this intricate procedure was facilitated by a
comprehensive evaluation of authentic economic frameworks and the
operational efficacy of the initiatives,” the official
articulated.
Abdullayev further articulated that an extensive array of
anemometric assessments is currently underway in the Lachin
district.
“We plan to have bank-accepted data by the end of this year.
After that, the data will be presented to investors. Of course,
there is great interest from various companies in producing wind
energy in that region. In fact, following an agreement signed at
COP29, a joint venture has been established for a wind power
project in Kalbajar. This joint venture has already started
measurements in Kalbajar. The measurements are expected to be
completed within a year, after which project proposals will be
submitted,” he clarified.
