Azerbaijan to Strengthen Energy Security and Diversify its Energy
By enhancing transmission capacity and increasing reliability, the project will create a more robust and flexible power system capable of meeting future energy needs of
If successful, these storage systems would optimize renewable energy use and enable better load balancing across the grid, thus increasing the resilience of Azerbaijan's energy infrastructure.
Fariz Jafarov of Azerbaijan's C4IR explains how AI, smart grids, and digital innovation are reshaping energy systems and accelerating the country's shift toward a more sustainable future. Azerbaijan's Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) is deploying AI, IoT, and digital tools to transform energy systems.
Diversifying and improving the energy capacity of the country to ensure energy security. Azerbaijan has significant untapped renewable energy potential, as it is a relatively sunny and windy country, and it also has sizeable hydro, biomass and geothermal resources.
However, Azerbaijan must navigate the technical and geopolitical challenges of building and maintaining these cross-border infrastructure projects. As of October 2024, Azerbaijan's energy system comprises a diverse mix of thermal, hydroelectric, and renewable plants. Despite recent gains, renewables account for only 21.3% of total capacity.
