Projects such as the Karabakh Solar Power Plant and the Khizi-Absheron Wind Power Plant will increase the share of renewable energy in Azerbaijan's energy balance from 7 percent to approximately 38 percent.
Modern.az reports that these views were expressed by Anar Guliyev, national coordinator of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) and chairman of the State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture, at the “High-Level Energy and Urban Dialogue of D-8 Countries" panel session held within the forum.
According to the national coordinator, the country's total renewable energy capacity is expected to reach 8 gigawatts by 2032.
“An equally important issue is the large-scale restoration and development process being carried out in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan. After the liberation of Karabakh and surrounding areas from occupation, Azerbaijan has embarked on an ambitious reconstruction process in regions that have suffered serious destruction for many years. Cities and villages, social infrastructure, transport networks, energy systems and public services are being rebuilt.
Our goal is not only to restore lost infrastructure, but also to create a new development model for the post-conflict period based on the principle of “build back better”, national climate commitments and sustainable development goals”.
