Power Transmission Enhancement Project

The project demonstrated that Azerenergy is a capable implementing agency for power projects and that there is private sector capacity to undertake major construction projects related to augmentation and rehabilitation of power transmission and distribution networks. With proper planning, effective project monitoring mechanisms, and motivated and well-trained personnel, such projects can be successfully and expeditiously implemented. The government, with the assistance of ADB, should continue to upgrade and expand the transmission and distribution networks to ensure system losses are minimized, electricity supplies are reliable, and the growing demand for electricity in the country is met.
