BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 4. Solar panels with
a total capacity of more than 3,000 kW were installed in over 550
private residential houses and public buildings, along with 32
hydropower plants (270 MW), in Azerbaijan's liberated territories,
Jabrayil Aliyev from the Azerbaijan renewable energy Agency (AREA)
under the Ministry of Energy told Trend .
According to him, the transition to green energy ranks with the
priority areas of state policy in Azerbaijan.
He said that large-scale projects aimed at environmentally
friendly and sustainable energy production using renewable energy
sources are also being implemented in the liberated
territories.
Aliyev highlighted the advantages of green technologies being
implemented in the liberated territories and the achievements in
this area.
The agency representative mentioned that work continues in the
direction of electricity generation from renewable energy sources,
energy efficiency measures, and other areas.
"Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur have been declared a green energy
zone by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev.
In accordance with Decree No. 2026, signed in 2021, a relevant
concept was developed with the involvement of an international
consulting company," he pointed out.
Besides, he reminded that the Cabinet of Ministers' decree No.
357s, dated June 21, 2022, approved the "Action plan for the
creation of a green energy zone in the liberated territories of
Azerbaijan for 2022-2026.".
"Work is ongoing in the production of electricity from renewable
energy sources, energy efficiency measures, the construction of
infrastructure for electric vehicles, the installation of renewable
energy systems on building rooftops, particularly solar panels, and
the implementation of green solutions such as LED lamps in street
and road lighting," he noted.
"In Zabukh and Sus villages of the Lachin district, solar panels
have been installed on the roofs of each private residential house,
administrative buildings, schools, and kindergartens, making them
accessible to citizens. In Lachin city, a solar panel system with a
capacity of three to five kilowatts has been installed on each of
the 24 private residential houses, both connected to the grid and
operating autonomously.
The implementation of these technologies significantly reduces
electricity costs for the population, making energy supply
environmentally friendly. In the future, the installation of solar
panels on rooftops will continue in new private homes and public
buildings," he said.
“Moreover, in the liberated territories, LED lamps are used to
illuminate streets and roads. The LED lighting system not only
saves energy but also serves for a long time and improves the
aesthetic appearance of cities.
To help protect the environment by encouraging the use of
electric vehicles, the number of electric charging points is being
increased in these areas,” the official added.
