"Undoubtedly, one of the most memorable events of this year was the connection of Khankandi and other districts to the energy system of Azerbaijan just 4 days after the anti-terrorist measures of September 19-20," the information says.
Construction of 9 power plants of Azerenergy started in 2023 in the territories liberated from occupation. Currently, including these 9 power plants, hydroelectric power plants are being built in 12 places in Garabagh and East Zangazur to produce environmentally friendly "green energy". Some of these works are ongoing, and some have already been completed. According to Azerenergy, commissioning of these plants is scheduled for 2024.
