Azerbaijan has 354 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 36 tracked facilities, ranking #87 of 222 countries in this atlas.

Solar dominates: 86% of the operating capacity (304 MW) comes from solar parks, against 50 MW of wind.

The pipeline is substantial: 445 MW under construction and 4.3 GW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 1,331% of today’s operating fleet.

About 251 MW (71%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2023, with 230 MW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in Baku (230 MW), Absheron-Khizi (50 MW), Babek District (23 MW).
