Baku/07.08.23/Turan: President Ilham Aliyev has issued a decree on August 5, ordering the liquidation of AzAlternativEnerji, a company under the State Agency for Renewable Energy Sources, which operates within the Ministry of Energy. The decree aims to involve the private sector in the utilization of renewable energy sources.
Upon completion of the liquidation process of AzAlternativEnerji and the settlement of outstanding debts with creditors in accordance with civil legislation, any remaining assets will be made available for privatization. The Ministry of Economy will determine the privatization methods, considering their specific characteristics, in line with the "Second State Program of Privatization of State Property," as approved by the Head of State in a decree dated August 10, 2000. Both local and foreign investors will be allowed to participate in the privatization.
AzAlternativEnerji was established in 2015 with an authorized capital of 51.483 million manats. The company oversees the operations of various renewable energy facilities, including the Gobustan hybrid power plant, Surakhani, Pirallahi, Sahil, and Samuh solar power plants, as well as solar energy systems installed at several social facilities.
