With the European Government Azerbaijani Government and European Union are strong patterns in

energy and other sector. Azerbaijan and EU are working on many projects. One of the main project that they are working on is building of a pipe that connect Azerbaijan with Europe, providing a major transit route for Gas and Oil. After the establishment of State Agency European Union started and still continues supporting the program that is founded by Azerbaijani Government for “the increased use of alternative and renewable energy sources.”

General Information

Further development of renewable energy sources will help in achieving new levels of energy security. Oil and gas reserves will not be available forever, so the countries involved in the oil and gas production from fossil fuels, are limited to energy sources that can

run out, that why this countries must promote sustainable development of alternative energy sources.

As the potential of renewable and alternative energy are rich in Azerbaijan Republic. President of Azerbaijan has created under the Ministry of Industry and Energy “the State Agency on Alternative and Renewable Energy Sources”, so that much of this potential could become reality.

In addition, there is a favorable natural condition for the development of renewable energy sources in Azerbaijan. First of all, there is a high potential for wind power, especially on the Absheron Peninsula. Wind speed year-round 3 - 7 m / s which is perfect for a wind generators. Azerbaijan has 260-280 sunny days wich is considered to be effectivly useful for solar energy. With the government of Azerbaijan State Agency has developed an experimental hybrid, thi shybry station will produce 5.5 MW of power and will supply electricity to the city of Gobustan, the wind power plants will produce 2.7 MW, the solar panels will produce 1.8 MW and the bio-gas plant will produce 1.1 MW,

The overall goal is

  The overall objective of this station is to be the direction for the development of renewable and alternative energy sources, and will

serve as a good example of sustainable development renewable energy in developing countries.

In the production of renewable energy will provide the following:

     Reduction of CO2     Protection of the environment.     Improve the level of health care.     An independent power supply.Main goals of this Hybriid station are:The creation of renewable energy.Not only for Azerbaijan , a good example for the entire regionModern training center.Independent Control Center and the smart use of network systems. Testing of new technologies in the field of renewable and alternative. enegry .to educate students and others on how to work with technologies involved in the sector of renewable and alternative enegy.

This Station uses differen combination of a variety of renewable and alternative sources    Wind power - 2.7 MW -    Solar power - 1.8 MW    Bio - gas plant - 1.1 MW    The use of heat pumps
