4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Azerbaijan wind power transmission and supply system”

What is the potential of wind energy in Azerbaijan?

According to preliminary analysis, the total technical potential of wind energy in the Azerbaijani part of the Caspian Sea was estimated at 157 GW (35 GW in shallow water basins and 122 GW in deep water basins).

What is Azerbaijan's energy potential?

According to the Ministry of Energy, the country's technical potential for small hydro is 520 MW, which could generate up to 3.2 TWh annually. Azerbaijan's Renewable Energy Agency under the Ministry of Energy (formerly SAARES) states that the country has up to 800 MW of geothermal energy potential.

Is Azerbaijan developing a battery energy storage system?

In parallel, Azerbaijan is developing its first battery energy storage systems, starting with a 250 MW project implemented by AzerEnerji. Saudi Arabia's Deputy Minister of Energy Nasser Al‑Qahtani described the Khizi-Absheron project as a flagship example of long-term strategic cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan in renewable energy.

Does Azerbaijan have solar power?
