Alternative energy will be used in “ASAN service” centers.
A presentation ceremony was held at the ASAN service centers regarding the project on “Transition to Alternative Energy Sources”, on November 2, 2024. The ceremony was attended by Ulvi Mehdiyev, the Chairman of the State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and Mukhtar Babayev, the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, who is also the designated president of COP 29.
It was emphasized that the initiatives implemented within the framework of 2024, declared by President Ilham Aliyev as the “Year of Solidarity for a Green World” are carried out with particular attention to ecological sustainability and the importance of green technologies. Also, Azerbaijan places special importance on the 5th priority of the 2030 National Priorities for Socio-Economic Development, which is “Clean Environment and Green Growth”.
At the same time, innovative ecological initiatives are being implemented by “ASAN service” in Azerbaijan to ensure a sustainable and green future.
A total of 19 million kilowatt-hours of electricity are consumed in the “ASAN service” centers. This fact makes it necessary to apply innovative solutions to meet energy demand in a sustainable manner.
Therefore, the State Agency has launched the “Transition to Alternative Energy Sources in ASAN Service Centers” project.
Within the framework of this project, solar panels have been installed on the roof of the Baku “ASAN service” center No.7 as an initial step. The solar panels, which are renewable and cost-effective, contribute to the grid and will provide the electricity needs of the building.
The project is planned to be implemented in the administrative buildings and parking areas of all “ASAN service” centers soon.
The use of solar energy and the application of advanced technologies will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions at the “ASAN service” centers. This will create a cleaner and healthier environment for the nearly 40 000 citizens who visit the centers daily.
At the same time, the project will contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically to “Affordable and Clean Energy”, “Sustainable Cities and Communities” and “Against Climate Change”.
