Utility-scale solar developer Masdar is set to develop two new solar projects in Azerbaijan. Masdar will build three solar and wind projects with a combined capacity of 1 GW. Masdar and State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) have signed a shareholder agreement for each of the projects. The installations include the 445 MW Bilasuvar PV project and the 315 MW Neftchala solar plant, both in southeastern Azerbaijan. Investors signed investment agreements for the projects in October 2023 and have since signed power purchase agreements, transmission connection agreements, and land lease agreements. Azerbaijan Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov said the three projects will generate 2.3 billion kWh of electricity per year. Azerbaijan has set a target of generating 30% of its energy capacity from renewables by 2030.
