The 240 MW Khizi-Absheron Wind Power Plant, is scheduled to be commissioned in November, Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov said during the second day of Baku Climate Action Week 2025 (BCAW2025).
It was noted that Azerbaijan plans to construct wind and solar power plants with a total capacity of 2.7 GW by 2030, in line with the grid’s maximum integration potential. This step will triple the installed renewable energy capacity in our country to 4 GW and prevent 3.2 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Over the next two years, 10 new power plants will be integrated into the grid, along with battery systems with a capacity of 250 MW and storage volume of 500 MWh to manage 2 GW of renewable energy. One of these plants, the 240 MW Khizi-Absheron Wind Power Plant, is scheduled to be commissioned in November. By 2030, in Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur, the generation capacity will reach 1.6 GW through hydro, solar, wind power plants, and rooftop panels.It will enable a reduction of more than 2 million tons of emissions.
