Arctech and China Power Engineering Consulting Group Northwest Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. recently signed a cooperation agreement for a 1GW photovoltaic project in Azerbaijan. The high-level officials of both sides witnessed the signing, marking another breakthrough in cooperation between Chinese enterprises in the field of renewable energy in Central Asia.

The signed project includes two photovoltaic power stations, Bilyasuwar and Banka, with a total installed capacity of 1GW. The Bilyasuwar project is the largest photovoltaic project under construction in Azerbaijan. The project will adopt the Zhongxin Bo Tianji II tracking system to customize solutions for extreme weather conditions such as floods and strong winds in coastal areas, ensuring stable operation of the power station in complex environments and achieving high returns. After the completion of the project, the average annual power generation will be about 1.53 billion kWh, and the annual reduction of carbon dioxide emissions will be 1.15 million tons, which will significantly increase the proportion of clean energy in the local area and help Azerbaijan achieve its goal of green energy transformation.

Wang Jinjun, deputy general manager of the Northwest Institute of China Power Engineering, said that the project is an important milestone for Chinese enterprises to deeply participate in the energy transformation in Central Asia. Both sides will rely on the technology and service capabilities of CITIC Expo to inject green power into the high-quality construction of the "the Belt and Road". Cai Hao, Chairman of CITIC Bo, pointed out that the company will take the advantage of tracking system technology as the core, combine with the localized service team in Central Asia (which has achieved 360 ° full cycle operation and maintenance capabilities), promote the full chain landing of projects, and assist in the low-carbon transformation of the global energy structure.

As an important node country of the "the Belt and Road", Azerbaijan's Renewable Energy Development Strategy has defined the goal of 6GW of photovoltaic installed capacity by 2030. CITIC Bo has previously participated in the construction of the country's first large-scale photovoltaic power station (grid connected in 2023, with an average annual power supply of 500 million kilowatt hours). This time, it won another 1GW order, further consolidating its leading position in the Central Asian market. In the future, CITIC Expo will continue to deepen cooperation with countries along the "the Belt and Road" and jointly draw a blueprint for sustainable development through its technological innovation and global service network.
