BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 13. We will build this station together with foreign partners, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during the groundbreaking ceremony held at the Gulustan Palace in Baku for a 1,280-MW thermal power plant, the largest in Azerbaijan's independence period, Trend reports.
"Renewable energy is currently given greater priority in the world and in Europe, including Azerbaijan, and we have already achieved great success in this field. Nevertheless, the benefits of traditional resources and traditional stations are also obvious.
I should note that we will build this station together with foreign partners. Today's ceremony is being attended by the Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy.
