World Bank specialist calls for synchronising energy grid with power generation plans

Azerbaijan should better integrate its energy grid planning with
generation planning to advance its renewable energy transition,
World Bank Group senior energy specialist Florian Kitt said at the
“Green Energy Week – 2025: Azerbaijan and Central Asia” event in
Baku, Azernews reports.

“Furthermore, in order to move faster with the unbundling
process of the electricity sector, very detailed studies and
calculations should be carried out on the generation cost,
transmission cost and possible sales markets for this energy,” Kitt
noted.

He stressed that such steps would help create incentives for the
private sector to invest in Azerbaijan and require a fair balance
between large state-owned companies and new market entrants.

According to the World Bank expert, it is important to create
conditions that encourage private investors to consider
opportunities in the country with greater interest.

“We were very pleased with the results of the country’s first
renewable energy auction. We believe that this direction needs to
be expanded and deepened so that the government can fully exploit
the potential for price reductions and truly obtain the best offers
and the most favorable tariffs,” Kitt added.
