Azerbaijan starts installing first major solar power
As the first independent, foreign investment-based "utility-scale" solar power plant, the project offers some level of confirmation that
The ESIA reports have identified resettlement and livelihood impacts created by the Project. The LRP has been developed to mitigate the economic displacement impacts that will be created for Banka Solar. The RAP has been developed to mitigate the potential physical and economic displacement impacts that will be created for Bilasuvar Solar.
Procedures will be developed and implemented for the storage, reuse, recycling, or disposal of damaged or unused solar PV panels. With respect to the impacts on biodiversity, the Banka Solar area partly overlaps an internationally recognized key biodiversity area (KBA), specifically the Kura Delta Important Bird Area (IBA).
CHA concluded that the development of Banka Solar will not adversely affect bird priority biodiversity features (PBFs), and no net loss will result from development of the Banka Solar to these PBFs. The Bilasuvar Solar area comes within 1 km of an internationally recognized KBA, specifically the Lake Mahmudchala IBA.
