Opening Ceremony of the Gulabird Hydroelectric Power Station

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended the opening ceremony of an 8-megawatt Gulabird hydroelectric power station on the Hakari river on February 14.

During the occupation period, the Armenian invaders destroyed this station, as they typically did everywhere else. This station, which is being commissioned upon the instructions of the President in a short time, is of great importance in terms of creating infrastructure and other planned activities in the liberated territories.

The commissioning of the Gulabird hydroelectric power station is a significant event and historic milestone. This is the first infrastructure project launched in the liberated lands with President Ilham Aliyev in attendance. This station will play an essential role in providing electricity to nearly 7,000 residents. The electricity generated here will be supplied to Khanlig village of Gubadli district, the southern part of Lachin district, and other infrastructure projects located in the area.

At the end of the opening ceremony, President Ilham Aliyev launched the Gulabird hydroelectric power station.
