Cooperation in the field of renewable energy is an important area of pragmatic cooperation between China and Azerbaijan. This was stated by China’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Lu Mei, in an interview with Report.
"The green development concepts of the two countries largely coincide. It is Chinese technologies and equipment that open up opportunities for Azerbaijan to achieve green development. Cooperation in the field of renewables between China and Azerbaijan has yielded fruitful results. Chinese-funded enterprises have joined the implementation of large-scale cooperation projects in this area, such as photovoltaic and wind energy, and have achieved a number of important results. In October 2023, a 230-megawatt solar power plant in Gobustan, built by a Chinese company, was successfully connected to Azerbaijan's power grid for electricity generation. This was the first large-scale RES project in which China participated in Azerbaijan. In January 2026, I attended the commissioning ceremony of the Khizi - Absheron wind energy project, implemented by a Chinese company. This is the largest wind energy project in the South Caucasus region. It is expected to provide electricity to over 300,000 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 400,000 tons, as well as make an important contribution to the sustainable development of Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus region. China looks forward to further expanding cooperation with Azerbaijan in the field of renewables to promote energy transformation and sustainable socio-economic development of the two countries, as well as to advance global cooperation in the field of clean energy", - Ambassador noted.
