strategic partnership between Italy and Azerbaijan, all the more
significant since it concerns the energy production sector,” said
Italian Minister of Made in Italy and Enterprise Adolfo Urso.
“We are proud to have been acknowledged as the main partner of
this important energy project in Azerbaijan, a new market full of
potential” says Giuseppe Marino, CEO of Ansaldo Energia.

latest technology provided by Ansaldo Energia the plant will ensure
the energy sustainability, meet the growing energy needs of our
country and contribute to the protection of the environment, to the
saving of natural gas in the production of electricity and to the
expansion of our export potential.”
The AE94.3A gas turbine produces 340 MW of electrical power,
with an efficiency of 40.3 percent in standard conditions. Ansaldo
Energia has installed 80 combined cycle units and 16 open cycle
units in 16 countries worldwide.
'Azerbaijan is a strategic country for Italy and Ansaldo Energia
has shown, since 2020, a strong interest in the Azerbaijani market,
promoting, over the years, numerous high-profile institutional
meetings with top-level figures. We have identified significant
business opportunities and, consequently, we have chosen to open
our own branch on site, to contribute to the country's energy
development', says Stefano Santinelli, Chief of International &
