58221-001: Banka Solar Power Project
The Banka Solar PV Plant (the Project) is one of three projects making up the first phase and is the focus of this report. On 26th October 2023, Masdar and the Ministry of Energy entered into
The Project involves financing the development, construction, operation, and maintenance of two solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants in Azerbaijan – (i) 315 MWac Banka solar PV power plant (Banka Solar); and (ii) 445 MWac Bilasuvar solar PV power plant (Bilasuvar Solar). Applicable Policy and Categorization.
The Bilasuvar Solar is located in the Bilasuvar district of the Shirvan-Salyan region in Azerbaijan, about 140 km south of Baku. The Project site covers one land plot of approximately 1,454 hectares, categorized as agricultural land and owned by the Bilasuvar Executive Power.
The objective of the project is to support Azerbaijan's energy transition through expansion of renewable electricity generation.
Additionally, an 80-km 330-kV overhead transmission line (OHTL) which will connect the Banka Solar Project to the Navahi substation and a 90-km 330kV OHTL which will connect the Bilasuvar Solar Project to the Navahi substation are part of the AZURE Project.
