Azerenerji ramps up operations to ensure uninterrupted power supply during COP29

As Baku gears up to host the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) from November 11-22, Azerenerji OJSC is transitioning to an enhanced operational mode to ensure uninterrupted and stable power supply to the city and the country as a whole.

Report informs citing Azerenerji that the company, as a member of the COP29 Organizing Committee, is fulfilling all its assigned obligations. In collaboration with relevant government agencies, preventive measures have been taken, ranging from ensuring the cybersecurity of energy facilities to preventing potential emergency outages. To achieve this, a comprehensive inspection of 37 nodal substations, 129 power lines, and 6 power plants located in Baku and the surrounding areas has been conducted, and resources have been identified to maintain additional reserve capacity.
