German envoy: Huge potential to tap renewables in Azerbaijan

There is a huge potential for the use of renewable energy sources in Azerbaijan, German Ambassador to Azerbaijan Ralf Horlemann said in an interview with Report.

“There’s a huge potential to tap renewable energy sources in Azerbaijan and the country is just starting to ramp up its engagement in this sector. Germany has a huge and very long experience in the production and the use of the renewable energy sources. At the moment, the first half of this year about 50% of Germany’s electricity was coming from renewable energy sources. There’s a great interest of the German government to increase that even further. There are numerous German companies specialized in the field of renewable energy production and environmental protection which could provide Azerbaijan with their expertise especially in the fields of wind, solar energy and green hydrogen. If there are public projects and tenders then German companies will look at the opportunities. And, of course, if the opportunities are good, the companies will invest,” he said.
