It was reported that due to the production of 77 mln kWh of Green Energy, it was possible to save 18 mln m³ of gas and millions of AZN and prevented the emission of 32 k tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The most important thing is that necessary measures have been taken to protect the ecosystem and European-made eco-turbines have been installed at the stations.
