More than 77 mln kilowatt-hours of ecologically clean Green Energy have been produced at the hydroelectric power plants (HPP) put into operation by Azerenerji OJSC in Lachin district, Azernews reports.

It was reported that due to the production of 77 mln kWh of Green Energy, it was possible to save 18 mln m³ of gas and millions of AZN and prevented the emission of 32 k tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The most important thing is that necessary measures have been taken to protect the ecosystem and European-made eco-turbines have been installed at the stations.
