Azerbaijan Launches Battery Storage Projects to Support Green
As part of its broader program to integrate 2 gigawatts of solar and wind power into the national grid by 2027, Azerenerji is simultaneously developing advanced storage
The BISTP's experience with this pilot project is vital for the adoption of energy storage systems in Azerbaijan. This initiative lays the groundwork for developing similar infrastructure on an industrial scale, aligning with the country's broader renewable energy ambitions.
By 2027, the construction of eight industrial-scale solar and wind power plants is expected to add 2 GW of green energy capacity, increasing the share of renewables to 33% of Azerbaijan's total energy mix.
These trends are highly relevant for Azerbaijan, and during the COP29 climate conference, the Baku International Sea Trade Port (BISTP) and Malaysia's Tiza Green Energy (a subsidiary of Citaglobal) launched the country's first project integrating solar energy with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
He also highlighted that efforts are ongoing to select a company to develop Azerbaijan's first industrial-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). In September of this year, Azerenergy announced a new tender for the development of a 250 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project, slated for completion by 2027.
