Azerbaijan is increasing its power generation capacities in a big way with a recent move. The former Soviet country is adding three industrial power generation units to its arsenal this week, all operated by BP.
The units are made by Rolls Royce, and will be installed in the Chirag Oil Project to supply the area near the Caspian Sea with power.
Each unit measures 60” long by 15”7’ wide by 14”3’ tall, and each weighs 185 tons. Their total cost and installation will total about $6 billion, and they should help Azerbaijan’s power generation situation, which has seen a steady oil production over the last two years of about 40 million tons of oil per year.
