KALBAJAR, Azerbaijan, September 3. In a
groundbreaking move towards sustainable energy, Azerbaijan's brand
new hydroelectric power plant "Yukhary Veng," built by Azerenergy
OJSC in Kalbajar, is poised to become the cream of the crop when it
comes to green energy in the region since the liberation of these
territories, Trend
reports.
The plant, in line with President Ilham Aliyev's strategy to
turn reclaimed areas into green energy zones, has a capacity of
22.5 megawatts and is expected to meet the entire energy needs of
Kalbajar district throughout the year for the next five years,
spokesperson for Azerenergy, Teymur Abdullayev stated.
"The plant will generate up to 66 million kilowatt hours of
green energy annually, which translates to significant
environmental and economic benefits," Abdullayev emphasized.
The facility is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including
a 110 kV open distribution unit and a 24-fiber optical cable line.
It adheres to high environmental standards, featuring specialized
hydrotechnical devices to protect river ecosystems and ensure clean
water discharge.
The construction, which involved both local and international
experts, including Austrian and Italian specialists, has already
shown its true colors in terms of economic viability. The project
is expected to pay for itself within seven years thanks to its
cost-effectiveness.
This initiative, as a part of the "Year of Solidarity for a
Green World," not only pushes Azerbaijan's commitment to green
energy but also adds fuel to the fire of regional economic and
environmental development, by creating job opportunities and
boosting the area's energy independence.
