Azerbaijan to increase power generation capacity
(Trend) - Azerenergy (production and distribution of electricity in Azerbaijan) intend to increase the country power grid capacity by 1,400 megawatts by late 2012, Azerenergy Investment Office Chief Rafael Abbasov said at a conference "Power generation world Caspian 2011" in Baku today.
He said that the country’s power generating capacity is currently 6,500 megawatts, due to which the country may be regarded as the country with the largest energy capabilities in the region. Azerbaijan’s power grid increased by 2,300 megawatts over the past seven years, which was made possible thanks to the reconstruction and modernization of old facilities and building new ones.
Abbasov said that a 20-percent increase in the country’s power generating capacity will be achieved at the expense of commissioning the Janub power plant in the third quarter of 2012, construction of a second HPP at the Azerbaijan TPP.
The capacity of Azerenergy’s power plant is 6.500 megawatts. It has more than 200 substations with a capacity of 500, 330, 220 and 110 kilovolts, six hydroelectric power plants, and 13 thermal power plants.
