On climate action and renewable energy, both Azerbaijan and Malaysia can partner on sustainable development projects addressing shared challenges, such as water management, renewable energy, and environmental conservation, thereby reinforcing commitments made under the frameworks of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and D-8, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Malaysia to Azerbaijan Ahmad Kamrizamil Mohd Riza told Report.
"One of the most exciting and immediate opportunities lies in Azerbaijan"s dynamic renewable energy sector. The government is making a serious commitment to this transition, with ambitious targets that are highly attractive to investors and solution providers. Azerbaijan aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its installed capacity to 33.7 percent by 2027, a significant jump from 21.3 percent at the end of last year. This aggressive goal is backed by a pipeline of projects, including wind farms and solar parks. This green push is not just about meeting domestic needs; it is also about strengthening Azerbaijan"s role as a hub for green energy in this region. Looking ahead, I am confident that priority areas for future cooperation are energy and renewable energy, given Azerbaijan"s rich resources and its renewable and sustainable energy agenda, as well as Malaysia's growing and established energy sector," - ambassador noted.
