Solar energy sources to be introduced in Azerbaijani national parks

The representatives of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources inspected solar mini-power plants installed in the Shirvan National Park,SIA reports.

“The solar panels were installed with the support of the Japanese ITOCHU Corporation,” the ministry said.

“The solar panels were installed and put into operation in the Gizilagaj National Park,” said Hikmat Alizade, director of the Department for the Biological Diversity Protection and Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Ministry.

“Other specially protected natural areas are planned to be provided with alternative energy sources in the future,” the director of the department said.

“Four administrative buildings and one checkpoint at the entrance to the national park are supplied with electricity through solar panels,” Alizade added.

“The goal of installing solar panels in national parks is to stimulate the use of alternative energy sources,” the director added. “At the same time, funds may be saved as a result of not using electricity. As is known, there is a tendency in the world to support the transition to alternative energy sources.”

“The ministry also stands for using this type of energy because the use of alternative energy sources contributes to the protection of nature,” Alizade added. “This is taken into account in our national parks."
