Green energy to provide Azerbaijan with 8 GW per year - Ilham Aliyev

Today Azerbaijan sees a growing interest in renewable sources, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during an event titled “Azerbaijan Executive Breakfast,” held as part of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

According to the head of state, Diversification of the economy for Azerbaijan is the number one priority.

“We have already inaugurated two big renewable power stations. In the coming six years, we will dramatically increase our capacity to generate energy from solar and wind. In other words, by 2032, we expect to have 8 gigawatts of solar and wind energy, because there is a lot of sun and a lot of wind, and we see great potential. We have already contracted several projects, and now we are thinking about storage capacity,” Ilham Aliyev said.
