Nakhchivan: Several scenarios are being considered for energy exports from Nakhchivan to Trkiye. “Initial proposals for the creation of a green energy concept in Nakhchivan have been submitted by the Boston Consulting Group. We will present them to the government,” Deputy Minister of Energy Orkhan Zeynalov told APA TV, APA-Economics reports.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the technical potential for green energy in Nakhchivan is estimated at 21-29 gigawatts, with an economic potential of 5.7-7 gigawatts, primarily derived from solar energy. Given the high radiation levels in Nakhchivan, these figures are notably significant.
Orkhan Zeynalov mentioned that once green capacities are established in Nakhchivan, there are plans to export them to Trkiye. “In this direction, several interconnector options are being reviewed. Export scenarios of 0.5 gigawatts, 1 gigawatt, 1.5 gigawatts, and up to 3 gigawatts are under consideration. These are being evaluated in relevant technical working groups jointly with the Turkish side,” he added.
