Night Blackout Demonstrated State of Energy Security in Azerbaijan
Baku / 03.07.18 / Turan: The loud voices of state officials saying with and without the reason that Azerbaijan provides not only its energy security, but also the energy security of half or even all of Europe, once again collapsed last night.
As it turned out, all this safety depends on one single 30-year-old transformer in Mingechevir. Once this transformer overheated, all this "safety" system flew in a certain direction.
As it turned out, there is simply no alternative energy supply system for the country in the event of such an emergency situation!
It was enough to break down one unfortunate transformer for the water supply system to be disrupted and for water supply to disappear in the capital. As experts say, water is available, and it is just pumps that went out of order because of the jumps and drops in electricity supply.
After 5 hours of electricity shortage in the country, the authorities cheerfully reported that the country's electricity supply was fully restored. But a little later they shyly admitted that Azerbaijan imports electricity from Russia and Georgia to supply the regions, but the situation at the Mingachevir hydroelectric power station is completely under the control of the head of state. As for the situation at this hydroelectric power station, only one of the blocks failed, after which the closure occurred on the rest.
2002, July 14: the country was left without electricity because of a fire in the wheat fields, where the fire spread to the high-voltage line.
2006, January 29: Absheron GRES short circuit. Half of the country, including Baku, was left without light for several hours.
2010, February 9: Baku and regions were left without light, and the subway did not work. The cause was an emergency on a high-voltage line.
After each of these accidents, the government announced measures taken and the exclusion of such a case in the future.
Before solving the energy security problems of Europe, the authorities of the country should seriously think about their own energy security, once it depends on only one transformer or a high-voltage line. -02B-

Modern wars test humanity's resilience, compelling a reevaluation of priorities and values. In such times, it is especially crucial to demonstrate not only strength but also a commitment to the principles of international law and humanity. Ukraine, facing an unprecedented scale of armed aggression from the Russian Federation, continues to uphold the norms of international humanitarian law (IHL) while resisting this aggression. The Voluntary Report presented by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has become a symbol of transparency, accountability, and the pursuit of justice.
