Azerbaijan's Zangilan District Becomes Green Energy Hub
What happened
Azerenergy announced that Zangilan is transforming into a green energy hub. Since the commissioning of hydropower plants between 2023 and 2024, the district has generated 215 million kilowatt-hours of green energy. These plants, which include Jahangirbayli, Zangilan, Shayifli, and Sarigishlaq, have saved 47 million cubic meters of natural gas and prevented 90,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
