Azerbaijan's energy system won't have problems as a result of the increased demand for electricity during the Eurovision-2012 being held in Baku next year, according to a statement posted on Thursday on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Energy of Azerbaijan with reference to the JSC Azerenergy (production and distribution of electricity in Azerbaijan).

The semi-final rounds of the competition will be held in Baku on 22 and May 24, with the final on May 26.

Azerbaijan's energy system has a reserve capacity of 1000 megawatt. Preparation of the supply to the facilities where the contest will take place corresponds to the highest standards.

Currently under construction is an underground 240-megawatt substation, Bayil (100/35/10 kV), which will be well equipped. There is also the construction of three substations at shestikilovattnyh and an autonomous diesel generator with a spare capacity of 12 megawatts and 10 MW uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

The company APR Energy had already submitted proposals to build a temporary plant to meet growing electricity demand.
