[4][9] Solar Power Plants of 20 MW and over include: Azerbaijan is one of those countries where windmills could be perfect fit due to geographical location.
In 1999, Japan's Tomen Company, together with the Azerbaijan Scientific Research Institute of Power Engineering and Energy, installed two towers with 30 and 40 meters in Absheron, average annual wind speed was determined to be 7.9-8.1 m/sec and feasibility study about the installation of windmills with a total capacity of 30 MWt had been prepared in Qobustan region.
[3] The State Agency on Alternative and Renewable Energy Sources of the Republic of Azerbaijan was established by the Decree of the President of Azerbaijan dated 1 February 2013, for improving the management system in the field of alternative and renewable energy.
This has resulted on savings of 464.7 million m3 of natural gas on average and, prevents spreading to the atmosphere 827.2 thousand tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) (Calculated based on “ The method of calculating the amount of gases the thermal effect spreading to atmosphere” approved by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources dated 18 January 2006)[14] According to collecting data from the preliminary official statistical and economic subjects, in 2016, 2,141.9 million kilowatt/hours electricity, or 9.3 percent of 23,073.9 million kilowatt/hours of electricity produced by the all sources in country were the total amount of alternative and renewable energy sources.
Efficient utilization of State Agency for Alternative and Renewable Energy Sources has resulted 548.7 million m3 of natural gas savings and, to prevent spreading to the atmosphere 976.7 thousand tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) (Calculated based on “The method of calculating the amount of gases the thermal effect spreading to atmosphere” approved by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources dated 18 January 2006) [15][16]
