On January 9, 2020, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Masdar Company of the United Arab Emirates signed an Implementation Agreement. According to the Agreement, pilot project will be implemented for the construction of solar power plant with a capacity of 230 MW by “Masdar”.
Azerbaijan began installment of its first major solar plant in 2023. The government of Azerbaijan aims to increase share of renewables in total electricity production to 30% by 2030. Azerbaijan’s renewable energy sources are hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass power plants.

The project will produce 500GWh of power annually once operational, using inverter manufacturer Sungrow’s 320kW string inverters SG320HX. The project is compatible with the MV8850-LV MV stations.
The total power generation capacity of Azerbaijan is 8320.8 MW, the capacity of the power plants on renewable energy sources, including large HPPs is 1687.8 MW, which is 20.3 % of the total capacity.
That includes 23,000 megawatts of solar energy, 3,000 megawatts of wind, 3,000 megawatts of biomass burning, and 700 megawatts of geothermal energy. The optimistic estimates for Azerbaijan’s wind and solar potential are backed up by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in a November report.
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology of the United Arab Emirates Sultan Ahmad Al Jaber attended the ceremony. The Garadagh Solar PV Plant is the largest solar power plant in the Caspian region and the CIS. The plant was built at the expense of foreign investment worth $262 million.
