Azerbaijan — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 79 energy assets in Azerbaijan across 9 layers — the 72nd-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 27 power plants, 21 oil & gas fields and 15 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 8.1 GW, led by gas at 84%. Refining capacity is about 110 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (22), SOCAR (18) and AzerEnerji JSC (15), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Azerbaijan's mapped assets in service predate 2001 (median commissioning year of the 40 with a known date), 6 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Chaxnaglar Oil Field (Azerbaijan), dating from 1932. 20 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Azerbaijan Caspian Sea wind farm (2.0 GW).
