Media: Azerbaijan Sparks Change with Next-Gen Power Plant

An episode of Energy Frontiers has taken a deep dive into the 8 November Power Plant - Azerbaijan’s most advanced energy facility and the largest gas-powered station in the South Caucasus.

Located in Mingachevir, the country’s energy city, the plant features hydrogen-ready, combined-cycle technology designed to generate 1,880 megawatts of electricity while cutting emissions by 50 per cent, The Caspian Post reports via foreign media.

Azerbaijani Deputy Minister of Energy Elnur Soltanov highlights how the facility contributes to Azerbaijan’s net-zero ambitions, saving over one billion cubic metres of natural gas annually. As the host of COP29, Azerbaijan is positioning natural gas as a transitional fuel while investing in the infrastructure for a low-carbon future.
