AGHDAM, Azerbaijan, May 22. Nakhchivan has been declared a green energy zone, with plans to expand the number of corresponding energy sources, said Araz Mammadzade, Director of the Training and Innovation Center of Azerishig OJSC, Trend reports.
Speaking to reporters in Aghdam, Mammadzade emphasized that
Azerbaijan is poised to experience a surge in collaborative
propositions within the green energy sector from adjacent
nations.
He observed that Azerbaijan occupies a preeminent position in the
regional landscape concerning the proliferation of renewable energy
assets and the metrics of energy sustainability performance.
"To avoid an anticipated energy deficit in the future, regional countries are working to improve energy relations with Azerbaijan," he said.
He also underscored the pivotal part that brotherly Türkiye plays in lighting the way for green energy to flow into Europe.
"In this context, the initiatives of our Iranian colleagues to acquire clean energy through dams on the Araz River are not surprising. I am confident that Azerbaijan will receive even more cooperation offers in the field of green energy from neighboring states," he added.
