In order to accelerate the transition to green energy, reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, save natural gas, and produce ecologically clean energy, complex works are being carried out by "AzerEnergy" in the liberated Kalbajar region, as in many areas. Thus, at present, the construction of hydropower plants is underway in four places in the territory of Kalbajar region.

Axar.az reports that "AzerEnergy" has released information about this.

According to information, the 4.3 megawatt "Zar", 8.8 megawatt "Nadirkhanli", 8.6 megawatt "Lower Veng" and 22.5 megawatt "Yukhari Veng" hydropower plants are planned to be commissioned in 2024. .

It was noted that during 2020-2023, "Kalbajar-1", "Meydan", "Qamishli", "Chirag-1", "Chirag-2" and "Soyugbulag" with a total capacity of 32 megawatts will be installed in Kalbajar district by "AzerEnergy". ” small hydropower plants were rebuilt and put into operation with the participation of President Ilham Aliyev. In accordance with the settlement policy, more than 20 kalbajars have been provided permanent employment at these stations.

Up to now, 6 small hydroelectric power stations put into operation have produced nearly 70 million kilowatts/hour of ecologically clean green energy. It should be noted that due to the abundance of the current year and the high efficiency indicators of the installed turbines, the stations are currently working at their nominal capacity.

The institution drew attention to the fact that the "Global Carbon Council" organization, located in Qatar, was officially applied for the purchase of carbon certificates for small hydroelectric power plants in Kalbajar, and a positive opinion was given to move to the next stage of the plant registration procedure. This initiative will successively cover other hydropower plants, and for the first time in the history of Azerbaijan, the provision of carbon certificates for renewable energy power plants will be related to the energy facilities in the liberated territories.
