BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 1. The world needs a
substantial upgrade to its energy networks, Vice-President of the
State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) Afgan Isayev said at a
roundtable discussion at the international conference as part of
the Baku Climate Action Week, Trend reports.
"The whole world needs a significant upgrade to its energy
networks. The grid needs faster solutions for energy storage and
automated generation control systems. Certain technologies,
software, and skills are necessary for effective prioritization.
There is also a need for additional educational resources, or their
combination. There is a tremendous demand for network modernization
globally, which I believe presents a huge opportunity," he
noted.
Isayev also noted the considerable efforts aimed at exploring
corridors that would allow Azerbaijan to export green electricity
to European markets.
To note, Baku is hosting Action Week (BCAW 2024) for the first
time from September 30 to October 4, 2024. The event will form the
