Euronews: Azerbaijan's 8 November power plant major step in energy transition

Euronews has released an episode of its Energy Frontiers broadcast dedicated to Azerbaijan’s 8 November Power Plant, the South Caucasus’s largest gas facility. With hydrogen-ready technology, it’s a major step in the country’s energy transition.

“In this episode of Energy Frontiers, we examine Azerbaijan’s most advanced power facility to date—the 8 November Power Plant. Located in Mingachevir, the country’s energy hub, the high-efficiency, combined-cycle gas plant is set to generate 1,880 megawatts of electricity while reducing emissions by 50%. 

Deputy Minister of Energy Dr. Elnur Soltanov explains how the hydrogen-ready turbines and gas savings of over one billion cubic metres annually support Azerbaijan’s net-zero goals. As COP29 host, Azerbaijan is embracing natural gas as a transition fuel while laying the groundwork for a low-carbon future, he says,” Euronews writes.
