With the European Government
Azerbaijani Government and European Union are strong patterns in
energy and other sector. Azerbaijan and EU are working on many projects. One
of the main project that they are working on is building of a pipe that connect
Azerbaijan with Europe, providing a major transit route for Gas and Oil. After the
establishment of State Agency European Union started and still continues
supporting the program that is founded by Azerbaijani Government for “the
increased use of alternative and renewable energy sources.”

General Information
Further development of renewable energy sources will help in
achieving new levels of energy security. Oil and gas reserves will not
be available forever, so the countries involved in the oil and gas
production from fossil fuels, are limited to energy sources that can

run out, that why this countries must promote sustainable
development of alternative energy sources.
As the potential of renewable and alternative energy are rich in
Azerbaijan Republic. President of Azerbaijan has created under the
Ministry of Industry and Energy “the State Agency on Alternative and
Renewable Energy Sources”, so that much of this potential could
become reality.
In addition, there is a favorable natural condition for the
development of renewable energy sources in Azerbaijan. First of all,
there is a high potential for wind power, especially on the Absheron
Peninsula. Wind speed year-round 3 - 7 m / s which is perfect for a
wind generators. Azerbaijan has 260-280 sunny days wich is
considered to be effectivly useful for solar energy. With the
government of Azerbaijan State Agency has developed an
experimental hybrid, thi shybry station will produce 5.5 MW of
power and will supply electricity to the city of Gobustan, the wind
power plants will produce 2.7 MW, the solar panels will produce 1.8
MW and the bio-gas plant will produce 1.1 MW,
The overall goal is
The overall objective of this station is to be the direction for the
development of renewable and alternative energy sources, and will

serve as a good example of sustainable development renewable
energy in developing countries.
In the production of renewable energy will provide the following:
Reduction of CO2
Protection of the environment.
Improve the level of health care.
An independent power supply.
Main goals of this Hybriid station are:
The creation of renewable energy.
Not only for Azerbaijan , a good example for the entire region
Modern training center.
Independent Control Center and the smart use of network systems.
Testing of new technologies in the field of renewable and alternative.
enegry .
to educate students and others on how to work with technologies
involved in the sector of renewable and alternative enegy.
This Station uses differen combination of a variety of renewable and
alternative sources
Wind power - 2.7 MW Solar power - 1.8 MW
Bio - gas plant - 1.1 MW
The use of heat pumps
