Background
The Janub power station replaced the old Shirvan gas power plant built in 1968.[12] The plant covers over 30% of Azerbaijan’s electricity requirements).
In February 2023, Director of the Janub ower station Jabir Yusifov mentioned plans to expand the plant's current capacity of 760 MW by establishing the Garadagh Solar Power Plant to produce more electricity.[13]
