Azerbaijan, Georgia:

Azerbaijan, Georgia to Jointly Develop Renewable Energy, Including Geothermal (AzerNews)

There is about 800 MW of potential geothermal energy capacity in Azerbaijan


Azerbaijan’s State Agency for Alternative and Renewable Energy and the Georgian Energy Ministry will establish a joint working group in the field of alternative energy, the state agency reported on July 8.

Agency chief Akim Badalov said the two countries have great potential in the use of alternative and renewable energy.

“Both countries have large hydropower resources. However, in the future, the use of hydropower can lead to environmental problems, so it is reasonable to use water resources more efficiently. The geographical position allows us to use wind energy, biomass, and geothermal energy,” the head of the state agency added.
