Power Plants in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan has 27 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 79th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 15 operating and 12 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 8.1 GW across 15 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Azerbaijan thermal power plant (2.4 GW).

The largest owner-operators are AzerEnerji JSC (15), Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co (3) and China Datang Overseas Investment Co Ltd (2) — AzerEnerji JSC alone is named on 56% of them. Half of Azerbaijan's power plants in service predate 2008 (median commissioning year of the 15 with a known date), 4 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Mingechevir hydroelectric plant, dating from 1954. 12 are in the pipeline, led by Azerbaijan Caspian Sea wind farm (2.0 GW), proposed. They account for 34% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Azerbaijan.
