"A relatively new part of our relationship with the European Commission is renewables," President Ilham Aliyev said during a joint press statement with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
"We also largely discussed it with Madame President, including the potential of Azerbaijan in solar, wind, and hydropower, and the existing transmission lines, as well as those to be built. We can also become strategic partners from this point of view."
"I informed Madame President that the contracts with foreign and local companies signed so far will allow us to have eight gigawatts of solar and wind energy over the next five to six years. This is only what has been signed, which is a contractual commitment. But definitely there'll be more," the President of Azerbaijan added.
