Hydro power is another crucial energy source for the nation, accounting for approximately 10% of domestic annual electricity generation. Operations are concentrated in the Karabakh and East Zangazur regions, designated Green Energy Zones featuring a 424MW hydropower plant.
The energy sector is undergoing a profound and complex transformation as the shift to renewable energy gathers momentum. Transitioning the electricity system to deal with an increasing share of renewables and different ways of operating is challenging, but it presents many opportunities to help businesses manage their energy costs, as well as capture new
The collective shift of the energy production and consumption from fossil-fuel bases to low carbon renewable energy sources, is inherently technology driven. Inequities in transition finance amidst climate impacts. A forecast from earlier this year shows that renewable energy sources could top two thirds of global primary energy supply by 2050. However, Africa
Azerbaijan has launched the country''s biggest renewable energy investment project to date: the construction of two solar plants and a wind power plant. It marks a major step in Baku''s ambitious...
Adding the ongoing hydropower projects in the liberated Karabakh and East Zangezur regions, Baku aims to achieve two gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by the end of 2027.

Whenever renewable sources generate extra power that exceeds the capacity, it distributes that energy to the sand battery. Rather than transferring electrons from an electrode or transferring water to a higher reservoir with power pumps, a sand battery relies on resistive heating to boost the air''s temperature. Afterward, a heat exchanger transfers the air to sand.

Scientists in the UK announce a new nuclear fusion energy record, bringing the futuristic energy source a step closer to reality
Azerbaijan is one of the countries with high potential for renewable energy sources. Thus, the technical potential of our country''s onshore renewable energy sources is 135 GW and offshore is 157 GW. The economic potential of
From a technological perspective, the energy transition seems to be equated with transitioning entirely from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources through novel technologies. While this is an ideal scenario for the betterment of the planet, the reality could involve drastically reducing fossil fuels and significantly increasing renewable fuels. Most
Baku has ambitious plans for greening its own power sector, reducing CO2 emissions and exporting both power and "green hydrogen" to European markets, which are desperate for new sources of energy in the wake of Moscow''s invasion of Ukraine.

New energy sources can provide a solution for green shipping because they have the advantages of abundant, renewable and clean. This paper examines the current progress made regarding the integration of new energy sources into conventional ship power systems, including solar energy, wind energy and fuel cells. It also discusses the possibilities for using
Officials have projected that the plant''s 570,000 solar panels will generate enough electricity to meet the energy needs of 110,000 homes and cut 200,000 tons of emissions annually. The joint initiative between SOCAR and Masdar broke ground on three further wind and solar plants in June 2024.
This ability to smooth energy supply and demand makes hybrid systems a critical component of the grid''s transition to cleaner energy sources. READ MORE: Solar-Plus-Storage: The Hybrid Solution
Europe can use this leverage to call for increased transparency in Azerbaijan’s energy sector in exchange for technical assistance, continued joint ventures, and further access to EU markets. Jody LaPorte is the Gonticas fellow in politics and international relations at Lincoln College, University of Oxford.
The Shah Deniz deposit has proved to be one of the largest gas fields ever discovered—and when production began in 2007, Azerbaijan became a net exporter of natural gas for the first time. This status has taken on added importance in the wake of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The day-to-day operations of Azerbaijan’s oil and natural gas deposits are overseen by the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR), which was established in 1992 as a state-owned monopoly. SOCAR is involved in the exploration, extraction, transportation, and sale of Azerbaijan’s oil and gas, both domestically and internationally.
Baku has been discussing the need to move away from hydrocarbon reliance since the early 2000s, but the first concrete proposals to develop Azerbaijan’s broader economy were approved by the president in 2016 and subsequently updated in 2021. These road maps identified several sectors for investment.
