“We have certain commitments: to increase the share of the renewable energy resources in electricity generating capacity to 30% by 2030, to turn Karabakh and East Zangazur into a green energy zone,” Azerbaijani Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov said at a press conference with the participation of Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saul, APA-Economics reports.
"After renewing our commitments at COP26 we are planning to achieve to increase the country's carbon emissions to 40% by 2050 and achieve zero emissions in the liberated territories. However, I should also note that energy transmission does not necessarily mean a complete transition from one energy source to another. The energy transition should generally be a managed process, and we consider that every energy resource has the right to participate in the energy transition, but for how long? The process itself will show this, "the minister said.
Notably, today a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the 240-megawatt “Khizi-Absheron” Wind Farm with the participation of President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Minister of Energy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saul.
