BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 7. Six charging points run on green energy have been installed in Azerbaijan's Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur, a source in Azerishig OJSC told Trend.
According to the source, the points are located in the digital control centers of the electrical network in Zangilan and Jabrayil, at the Khojaly and Shusha-1 substations, the Fuzuli digital substation, as well as the Hadrut hub substation.
The source said that in accordance with the order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on promotion of the use of electric vehicles, the OJSC continues to work in this direction.
Ahead of the upcoming COP29 in the country, the necessary infrastructure of charging points is built in the capital and regions, which are provided with stable electricity, the source explained.
Moreover, the source said that the provision of the points with green energy serves to protect the environment.
Meanwhile, according to the source, the points installed by Azerishig OJSC with high power and fast, stable current charge electric vehicles in a short time with high-quality electricity.

The installation process for the charging points will be continued both in the capital and in the regions.
The country where 2024 has been declared the “Year of Solidarity for a Green World” is taking serious steps in the development of alternative energy sources.
The installation of charging points in Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur, which will become a green energy zone in the future, is a continuation of these projects.
The use of alternative energy sources in areas and the daily increase in interest in electric vehicles will have a positive impact on the ecosystem of Azerbaijan, especially Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur.
