Construction Of Bp's Solar Power Plant In Azerbaijan's Jabrayil Likely Start Before COP29
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. The construction of
bp's solar power plant in Jabrayil is expected to start before
COP29, the Director General of COP29, Deputy energy Minister Elnur
Soltanov told reporters in ADA after the opening ceremony of the
summer energy school, Trend reports.
"Azerbaijan has already uttered its voice in the oil and gas
spheres, we have become a reliable partner in ensuring the energy
security of the world's countries. Now, Azerbaijan demonstrates
seriousness in its intentions to implement "green" projects, both
at sea (plans to create wind farms) and on land-in Absheron and
liberated territories. The process of transition to "green" energy
in the world is unstoppable. Our philosophy is to utter our voice
in "green" energy," Soltanov said.
According to him, Azerbaijan is also rich in such sources of
"green" energy as water resources.
"Hydroelectric power plants have already been and will be built
in Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur, which will sufficiently provide
the liberated lands and neighboring territories with electricity.
The project of construction of a solar power plant by bp in the
Jabrayil region is next in line, and I think we will hear about the
commencement of this project before COP29," Soltanov said.
To note, the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will be held
in Azerbaijan in November this year. The decision was made at the
plenary meeting of COP28 held in Dubai on December 11 last year.
Within two weeks Baku, having become the center of the world, will
host about 70,000-80,000 foreign guests.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement
signed at the Rio Earth Summit in June 1992 to prevent dangerous
human interference in the climate system. The acronym COP
(Conference of Parties) stands for Conference of Parties, which is
the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the
Framework Convention on Climate Change.
A total of 198 countries are parties to the convention. Unless
the parties have decided otherwise, COP is held annually. The first
COP event was held in March 1995 in Germany's Berlin with its
secretariat in nation's Bonn.
