The first phase of the project, including a 330 kV substation in the Jabrayil district, was inaugurated by President Aliyev in May this year. The newly commissioned Yeni Sangachal substation, which constitutes the second phase of the project, will transmit renewable electricity to the Sangachal terminal, enabling the decommissioning of the terminal's gas-fired power plant. Power is supplied from three independent sources: the 785 MW Janub Power Plant, the 385 MW Gobu Power Plant, and the 500 kV Absheron substation. Five 110 kV overhead-cable transmission lines with a total length of 25 km have also been laid between the substation and the Sangachal terminal.
