Diversifying and improving the energy capacity of the country to ensure energy security. Azerbaijan has significant untapped renewable energy potential, as it is a relatively sunny and windy country, and it also has sizeable hydro, biomass and geothermal resources.
As Azerbaijan is relatively sunny, it has excellent solar power potential. According to the Ministry of Energy, technical potential is around 23 000 MW. The country's 2 400 to 3 200 sunshine hours annually compare well internationally, as does its solar intensity, estimated at 1 500 to 2 000 kWh/m 2.
According to the Ministry of Energy, the country's technical potential for small hydro is 520 MW, which could generate up to 3.2 TWh annually. Azerbaijan's Renewable Energy Agency under the Ministry of Energy (formerly SAARES) states that the country has up to 800 MW of geothermal energy potential.
Although hydropower is Azerbaijan's largest source of renewable energy today, its potential has not been fully exploited. According to the Ministry of Energy, the country's technical potential for small hydro is 520 MW, which could generate up to 3.2 TWh annually.
