Azerbaijan’s renewable energy generation reaches 4.2309 billion kWh, accounting for 20.0% of the total.

Azerbaijan generated 4.23 billion kWh of renewable electricity in January–September 2026, accounting for 20.0% of the country's total power output of 21.19 billion kWh, according to Energy Ministry operational statistics released October 14. Thermal generation supplied the remaining roughly 80%, totaling 16.96 billion kWh. Renewable output rose by 1.05 billion kWh year-on-year, with hydropower leading at 2.77 billion kWh (about 65.4% of renewables), followed by wind at 768.7 million kWh, solar at 501.5 million kWh, and waste-to-energy at 193.6 million kWh. The figures underscore Azerbaijan's gradual diversification away from fossil fuels, a trend relevant to energy-sector investors tracking Caspian region infrastructure and state-backed renewable buildout. Watch for whether the renewable share continues climbing in Q4 data and for progress on announced wind and solar capacity additions.
