(Masdar ) signed a collaboration agreement with Azerbaijan Green Energy Co. to explore several new projects, including an expansion of its existing Garadagh Solar PV development by at least 350MW. The plans also include a battery energy storage system of up to 200MWh and a separate 100MW round-the-clock renewable energy project. Masdar's existing Garadagh Solar PV project has a capacity of 230MW and was inaugurated in 2023. The proposed expansion would add a minimum of 350MW, alongside battery storage designed to increase flexibility in how renewable electricity is supplied. Garadagh currently generates around 500 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, enough to power more than 110,000 homes.
