Azerbaijani transmission system will reach 4,000 megawatts and the length of the 110-500-kilovolt lines will increase by approximately 1,500 kilometers under the projects planned for 2010-2015.
The country has more than 200 substations with a voltage of 110 kilovolts and higher, he said. The transmission line has a voltage of 110 kilovolts and runs over 8,000 kilometers.
The total length of the line with a voltage of 35 kV is more than 100,000 kilometers.
