The head of state noted that accurate calculations have already been made and the production of solar and wind energy can reach about 9,000-10,000 megawatts.
“Preliminary steps are already being taken, negotiations are underway with bp to build a solar power plant with a generation capacity of more than 200 megawatts. I do hope that these talks are also successful. Other large companies are interested in the region. I must say that during the 30 years of occupation, Armenians and the Armenian state destroyed the entire infrastructure, all the buildings, historical and religious sites in the occupied territories. There are many documents, video and photo information confirming this,” he said.
President Aliyev recalled that more than 30 hydropower plants have been destroyed in Kalbajar and Lachin districts.
“We have already begun large-scale work in the liberated lands, including in the field of electricity. Last year, we restored four hydropower plants. Their total generation capacity is 20 megawatts. This year, there are plans to reconstruct five hydropower plants with a combined generation capacity of 27 megawatts. Of course, these capacities are not very large compared to other stations. However, the number of these stations will be more than 30 in Kalbajar and Lachin districts alone, and these are hydropower plants. Of course, there is a greater potential for the creation of solar and wind power plants. I want to say again that the entire infrastructure has been created, internal lines have been modernized, many substations have been built, including seven in the liberated lands in just one year,” the head of state added.
