SOCAR Green plans to allocate more than 500 million
kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity under a 240 MW innovative
renewable energy project aimed at decarbonizing the Sangachal oil
and gas terminal.
Azernews reports that this was announced by
Elchin Tarquliyev, solar and wind energy expert at SOCAR Green,
during his speech at Baku Climate Action Week 2025.
Tarquliyev explained that the company will feed electricity into
the national grid and then draw it from another part of the country
specifically to support carbon reduction at the Sangachal terminal.
“This is a 240 MW project, and over 500 million kWh of electricity
will be allocated for the terminal’s decarbonization efforts,” he
noted.
He also highlighted SOCAR Green’s focus on developing small- and
medium-scale renewable energy projects, primarily targeting the
business sector, including SOCAR itself. These projects are
designed to help companies reduce both emissions and electricity
costs, with power sold slightly below national tariffs. While the
company’s primary focus remains on solar and wind energy, it is
also actively exploring the potential of geothermal and biogas
resources, which are currently in the assessment phase.
