Power Transmission Project

The Power Transmission Project for Azerbaijan aims to improve the efficiency of the power transmission operation in Azerbaijan through technical and institutional strengthening of the generation/transmission utility. The project has the following four components: Component 1) includes investments to upgrade the electricity dispatch system in the country, which in turn would support the reliable, secure and economic operation of the electricity sector, and facilitate financial settlements in a future wholesale electricity market. Component 2) will cover priority investments in rehabilitation of high voltage transmission lines and selected high-voltage substations. Component 3) will provide technical assistance (TA) to improve the management systems of Azerenerji and prepare the company for a future restructured energy sector. Component 4) will finance Incremental Operating Costs for the Project Implementation Unit (PIU)
