January 30, Fineko/abc.az. President Ilham Aliyev said at the conference on the State Program of Socio-Economic Development of the Regions of Azerbaijan stated about plans on the opening of a large power plant in Baku in the current year. 

"Opening of power plant Severnaya 2 with capacity of 400 MW is scheduled for this year. At the same time, construction of new power plants with capacity of 300 MW, 350 MW, and perhaps 400 MW has been started in Baku. Currently, specification on the projects is underway, and construction of the plant will further strengthen our energy potential. In addition, we can increase capacity of the existing power plants due to repair work on them. Preliminary estimates show that we can get additional capacity of about 500 MW”.
"If all the above-mentioned issues are resolved, and I’m sure it will be so, we will generate an additional 1,500 MW of electricity, and we’ll compensate for our growing domestic demand, as well as receive foreign currency for our country due to power export," President Aliyev said.
