Ilham Aliyev says he disagrees with those who call Azerbaijan an oil state

The technical potential of renewable energy in Azerbaijan is estimated at 135 GW on land and 157 GW at sea, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev,  stated at the opening of the COP29 World Leaders Summit on Climate Change in Baku yesterday.

The Group of Twenty (G20) is the largest source of emissions into the atmosphere. This was stated by UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the opening of the COP29 World Leaders Summit on Climate Change in Baku.

Azerbaijan has updated its renewable energy target for 2030 to 35.5%. This was announced by Azerbaijan’s Minister of Energy, Parviz Shahbazov, during the ministerial dialogue on "Scaling investments to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency."

As part of COP29, the foundation-laying ceremony for the 240 MW “Shafag” solar power plant took place in the Jabrayil region, in partnership with BP.
