BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 29. One of the main
goals of Azerbaijan is the development of renewable energy sources
(RES), Azerbaijani Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov said at a round
table within the framework of the international conference 'Eighth
Berlin Dialogue on Energy Transition', Trend reports with reference to the
ministry.
The trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Germany increased by
57 percent in 2021 compared to 2020, the minister said.
He also emphasized the prospects for developing cooperation
between the two countries in new areas.
'The cessation of the long-term conflict has fully ensured
security, which is one of the main necessary conditions for the
inflow of investments into the region. One of the national
priorities of Azerbaijan is the widespread use of RES both in the
liberated territories - in Azerbaijan's Karabakh and East Zangezur
economic regions and across the country as a whole,' Shahbazov

resources, one of its main goals is the development of the RES
sector.

sector with VPC, Siemens, Berlin Wind and other German
companies.
Participants of the conference also noted productive cooperation
with the German energy agency DENA on the preparation of four pilot
projects to support the development of the RES in Azerbaijan during
the meeting.

renewable energy projects.
