BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 8. It is possible to say that over the past 20 years, our energy system, namely our generation capacities, large-scale substations, and transmission lines, has been completely renovated, said President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during his speech at the opening ceremony of Khizi-Absheron Wind Power Plant in Baku, Trend reports.
President Ilham Aliyev noted that over the past 20 years, the generation capacities created in our country have increased by about three times compared to the entire previous period:
''Today, our generation capacity constitutes approximately 10,000 megawatts. This, if we may say so, is a historical record. However, given that many new renewable energy generation capacities will be put in place in the coming years, this figure will certainly increase and will enable us to both meet the growing domestic demand adequately and export electricity in larger volumes,'' he added.
