“The solar energy potential in Nakhchivan is immense. Based on monitoring and precise analysis, Nakhchivan is the most favorable location within the territory of Azerbaijan for solar power generation,” President Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with Azerbaijan Television in Nakhchivan.

Noting that an area of more than 600 hectares has already been designated for this purpose, the head of state said that solar power plants with a capacity of hundreds of megawatts will be constructed there.
