More than 700 kilometres of 330 and 110 kV high-voltage power lines were laid. All territories liberated from occupation are fully provided with electricity. It is important that all substations are connected to the Azerbaijani general energy system, Report informs, citing Rzayev’s article published on Azarbaycan newspaper.

He wrote that Khankendi city was connected to the Azerbaijani energy system four days after local anti-terror measures. The installed capacity of power plants that are being built or will be built in the territories liberated from occupation will be more than 370 MW.
