BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 7. Azerenerji is
building a new energy center to meet Baku’s growing electricity
demand.


The company said in a press release that, as part of efforts to
implement the Baku Master Plan through 2040 and meet the growing
energy needs of the expanding Sea Breeze project, as well as Baku
and the Absheron Peninsula, it is constructing a
220/110/10-kilovolt substation with a total capacity of 750
megavolt-amperes on the border of Pirshaghi and Novkhani
settlements.


According to Azerenerji, construction of the new 220-kilovolt
Sea Breeze substation is progressing rapidly on a 5.8-hectare site,
with most of the project already completed.


“At the initial stage, extensive land-filling and drainage works
were carried out to prepare the site for construction. Drainage and
collector systems were also built both around the substation and
within the settlement to prevent the accumulation of rainwater and
groundwater,” the company said.


Alongside construction of the Sea Breeze substation, underground
220-kilovolt cable lines with a total length of 17.5 kilometers are
being installed to integrate the facility into the power system in
line with modern urban planning principles. Construction of the
strategically important energy facility for Baku is scheduled to be
completed by the end of the year.







According to Teymur Abdullayev, head of Azerenerji’s Public
Relations Center, commissioning the 220-kilovolt substation will
allow the expansion of Baku’s 220-kilovolt ring power supply
network. This will create additional opportunities to distribute
electricity flows more efficiently and ensure an uninterrupted
power supply to consumers in the event of outages or maintenance
work.


In addition, integrating the substation with the 110-kilovolt
network will help reduce the load on existing substations and
further improve the reliability of electricity supply in Baku and
the Absheron Peninsula.


Azerenerji emphasized that the new energy center will create
additional opportunities to supply electricity to future
residential, tourism and business projects, supporting the
capital’s long-term urbanization and economic development
goals.
