Minister: Azerbaijan updates its renewable energy target for 2030 to 35.5%

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.

President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, in his speech at the opening of the COP29 World Leaders Summit on Climate Change in Baku, expressed his disagreement with those who still call Azerbaijan an oil state. "Today, this is unjust and reflects a lack of political culture and knowledge," the head of state emphasized.

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.

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.
