BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 18. The date of commissioning of the Khizi-Absheron wind power plant (WPP) in Azerbaijan has been announced, Trend reports.
The matter was deliberated upon during the media excursion to
the Khizi-Absheron 240 MW WPP.
Four turbines, each boasting a capacity of 6.5 MW, have been
deployed at the WPP.
The deployment of the entire turbine array and the subsequent
commissioning phase of the facility are projected in 2025.
