Azerbaijan has taken another step toward scaling up its offshore wind ambitions after the Ministry of Energy signed an Implementation Agreement with Clean Energy Capital (CEC) LLC, a subsidiary of Azerbaijan Green Energy Company.
The deal covers the assessment, development and delivery of an offshore wind project in the Caspian Sea, starting with 200 MW and ultimately targeting 600 MW. Under the agreement, CEC will launch technical and environmental studies in the designated offshore zone to shape the project’s design, readiness and investment pathway.
The project is part of Baku’s broader push to build a regional clean-energy hub and cut reliance on conventional power sources. Azerbaijan has been accelerating its renewables programme, with plans to bring 6 GW of wind capacity — onshore and offshore — online by 2032.
The scale of the opportunity is significant. According to the World Bank’s Offshore Wind Roadmap, the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea holds an estimated 157 GW of technical offshore wind potential, including 35 GW in shallow waters and 122 GW in deeper areas.
The ministry said the agreement marks another milestone in integrating large-scale renewable power into the national grid as the country works to align with climate goals and diversify its long-term energy mix.
