BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 8. When we celebrated the opening of a new power plant in Mingachevir last year, we were once again convinced that these two processes in Azerbaijan, namely traditional generation capacities and renewable generation capacities, should be carried out in parallel. Only then can we achieve the desired result, said President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during his speech at the opening ceremony of Khizi-Absheron Wind Power Plant in Baku, TurkicWorld reports.
''The generation capacity of the traditional power plant commissioned in Mingachevir last year is approximately 2,000 megawatts, and today, Azerbaijan feels very comfortable in terms of energy supply and energy security. A 230-megawatt solar power plant was put into operation recently. Today, a 240-megawatt wind power plant is under construction, and three solar power plants are currently under construction in the liberated territories, in the Jabrayil district. The total capacity of these three plants is 340 megawatts,'' President Ilham Aliyev noted.
