Chairman of Azerishig Open Joint Stock Company Vugar Ahmadov informed the head of state of the substation.

It was reported that a larget part of the Aghstafa and Gazakh regions, especially Gazakh, was commissioned in 1967 to solve the problems of electricity supply and meet the growing demand for electricity in both regions. Two new transformers with a capacity of 25 megawatts were installed at the substation of Aghstafa. As a result, the capacity of the substation increased to 10 megawatts and increased to 50 megawatts. New substations 110, 35 and 10 kV have been built at the substation. The increase in stability of the 35-kilowatt circular power supply system between 3 110 kV substations in the Aghstafa and Gazakh regions was completed by the reconstruction of the 110 kV Aghstafa substation. This will ensure uninterrupted power supply and reliability of these zones.

It was noted that all consumers in Aghstafa region and 61.9% in Gazakh region, in total, 34,590 subscribers in both regions receive electricity from this substation.

President Ilham Aliyev launched the substation.

Let's note that at the instruction of  President Ilham Aliyev, in recent years important works have been made in the electric power industry to eliminate existing shortcomings and build new substations. In the meanwhile, reconstruction of the power system in Aghstafa district, and uninterrupted power supply to the population was a priority.As a result of extensive construction, reconstruction and renovation works in the area, extensive opportunities have been created to improve the electricity supply of the villages and surrounding areas, as well as to meet the growing electricity demand of agricultural facilities. In recent years,  several  air lines have been laid in the district, and the  electrical grid of village has been replaced by self-contained insulated wires and is currently being carried out in other villages. As a result, the capacity of the existing power grid has increased, and technical losses have sharply decreased.
