AzerEnergy OJSC, the largest electrical power producer in Azerbaijan, is building a 110/35/10 kV digital substation at an altitude of 1,800 meters above sea level in Gorchu village of the liberated Lachin district, AzerEnergy spokesperson Teymur Abdullayev told Report.
Abdullayev notes that AzerEnergy is carrying out large-scale work to connect the Lachin district to the general energy system of Azerbaijan and provide it with stable and uninterrupted electricity.
