Feasibility Study for Absheron Wind Farm Projects with Photovoltaic Component
Azerbaijan founded the "State Agency on Alternative and Renewable Energy Sources - ABEMDA" (later AREA) to improve the conditions for investments in new generation capacities. KfW provided a loan for the implementation of a "flagship" renewable investment project - the Absheron Wind Farm. The scope of the study was later extended to include also the integration of PV components. The project prepared feasibility studies for two potential sites.
