"For the realization of this initiative the "Shukurbeyli" substation in Fizuli, which is a parallel hub substation, had to be expanded and completely reconstructed, and a 110 kW double-chain transmission line had to be built from the "Shukurbeyli" substation to Shusha through hard-to-reach highlands. As a result, a 75-kilometers long 110 kV double-chain power line was built in Shusha in record time - 73 days," he said.
The first object put into operation in the city of Fizuli was the newly built 110/35/10 kilowatt "Fizuli" substation, as well as a 70-kilometer long 110 kV double-chain power line and from Dashkesan to Kelbajar, and a 110/35/10 kW "Kelbajar" substation, Rzayev said.

"For this purpose, a 110 kW power line was built from the "Shukurbeili" substation in Fizuli to power again the substations "Jabrayil ", "Gubadli" and "Zangilan", - said Rzayev.
"In 2021, in parallel with the construction of a 110-kilowatt double-chain transmission line 35 km long from the "Khindiristan" substation to Agdam, and the "Agdam-1" and "Agdam-2" substations construction, the construction of the Regional Center for Digital Management of Karabakh was launched, and on February 13, 2022, all three objects were solemnly opened," he said.

The "Kelbajar-1" small hydropower station with a capacity of 4.4 megawatts was commissioned on June 26, 2022, as the first production facility in the region after the reconstruction
"In addition to this station, "Chirag-1" small hydropower plant with a capacity of 8.33 megawatts, and "Chirag-2" (3.6 megawatts), "Gamishli" (6.33 megawatt)s, "Soyugbulag" (5.3 megawatts) and "Meydan" (3.4 megawatts), including the construction of the substation with a capacity of 110/35/10 kW and a two-chain "Kelbajar-Lachin" 110 kV power line were built in Lachin district," Rzayev added.
