The 50 MW Shams and 50 MW Ufug solar power plants (SPPs) are expected to generate 206 million kWh annually, saving 44 million cubic meters of natural gas and cutting emissions by 96,000 tons per year.
It should be noted that, on October 28, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev laid the foundation stone for the "Shams" and "Ufug" Solar Power Plants, each with a capacity of 50 megawatts, in Shahvalli village of Jabrayil district.
Recall that in March 2024, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of Energy and Nobel Energy company on the construction of a 100 MW solar power plant, as well as cooperation in the production, sale, and consumption of electric energy. Subsequently, in April of this year, the Government of Azerbaijan signed investment agreements with Enerso Jabrayil LLC for the 50 MW "Ufug" Solar Power Plant and with Clean Energy Jabrayil LLC for the "Shams" Solar Power Plant projects.
