On October 28, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev laid the foundation of the “Ufug” Solar Power Plant in Shahvalli village, the Jabrayil district — marking an important milestone in the country’s renewable energy development.

The Minister of Energy, Parviz Shahbazov, together with Nobel Energy’s Chief Commercial Officer and Director of Enerso Jabrayil LLC, Eldar Mamedzadeh, provided the President with detailed information about the 50 MW power plant.

The project represents a key element of Azerbaijan’s green energy strategy and marks the beginning of a new chapter in the energy landscape of the Jabrayil district.

The construction of the plant is being carried out by Enerso Jabrayil LLC, a renewable energy subsidiary of Nobel Energy. Once fully operational, the “Ufug” Solar Power Plant is expected to generate around 110 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually — sufficient to power a moderately sized industrial facility — while significantly reducing the region’s carbon footprint. As a renewable energy source, it will contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and advancing Azerbaijan’s sustainability goals.

Beyond its environmental benefits, the project will deliver significant socio-economic value. It is expected to create over 300 jobs during construction and approximately 50 permanent positions once operational — supporting local capacity-building, skills development, and broader community engagement.

The “Ufug” Solar Power Plant marks a key milestone in Azerbaijan’s clean energy transition, underscoring the country’s growing commitment to sustainable development. It advances national efforts to diversify the energy mix, strengthen energy security, and support global climate action.
