From January to October 2013 Azerenerji, state monopolist generating power in Azerbaijan, has generated 17.5 billion KWH of power, reported Azerenerji press office.
During 10 months, 2013 the company has generated the same amount of power as last year.
In October 2013 power generation in the republic totaled 1.7 billion Kwh. Although in September 2013 power generation at Azerenerji power stations totaled 1.5 billion kwh. Why did power consumption increase by 200 million Kwh in October, though weather was warmer, than in September?
On the other hand, Azerenerji has not informed the publicity about what part of power was generated by the thermal power stations and what part by the hydraulic power stations for six months.
According to the government’s forecasts, in 2013 power generation in the country will total 24,479,900,000 KWh.
In 2012 Azerbaijan generated 22,207,200,000 KWh of power.
Azerenerji is a closed-type state-run company. It does not contact with press and during the period of its operation it has placed only two five-page financial reports on its web site and it has never published an annual report about its activities.—0-
