In the exceptional importance of the elected government in Baku and suburban settlements, playing an important role in the supply of electricity in the Absheron Peninsula, "North thermal power station" has a glorious history. Here, the first power generator in 1954, 19 January, joined energy system. Calculated from the date of commissioning of the plant that day.

But over time, wear and maintenance of equipment installed does not meet modern requirements. Especially  after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, many of the former Soviet republics, as well as the lack of electricity in Azerbaijan was  created.

June 15, 1993, after the arrival of the leadership of Heydar Aliyev, Azerbaijan public, as in all areas was a sharp turn on the power system. As a result, the personal initiative "Shimal" dress national leader began a second career.

Let's remember that the turning point in the life of public service as a result of the initiative of great leader Heydar Aliyev, the Government of Japan, the "North" power plant of 400 MW in combined cycle power plants (CCPP) has opened a credit tranche. December 19, 2000, the cornerstone of national leader Heydar Aliyev was constructed. Giant construction was completed in the near future and in Azerbaijan in period first September 28 was commissioned in 2002 and adopted by the synchronization.

Note that many of these innovations have been applied to lock station construction. For example, the new 110-kV substation was built. Here we were introduced latest 110 kV circuit breakers. In addition to the introduction of water to produce a new type of R-0 (reverse osmosis) system was built.

As a result of five months of this year, as in previous years it has been the high technical and economic indicators. The station is operated in the control chart.

According to the source, the first five months of this year, the plant was 1 billion 20 million kWh of electricity. In particular, in May this year, were 2037000000 kWh. By the way, since 2002, "Power to the north," the company so far (up to 01.06.2015) produced 27.8 billion kWh of electricity.

It should be noted that the efficiency of equipment, power transmission and distribution systems, the fixed operation and maintenance of electrical power as a result of targeted measures to raise the level of production has been achieved in other technical indicators. The source, described it as a logical result of successfully implemented, he also said that the organization of events and other activities aimed at preparing for the season, continuing on schedule.

By the way, other organizations, such as the issue of fire safety in the spotlight. So, in order to ensure fire safety, fire pumps tested, defects have been eliminated. At the same time, based on inspections and fire warning systems were in good condition. In addition, staff will be trained in the accident.

The "Shimal" ES-in-development under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev successfully continues today. Now, the second power plant 409 MW are under construction. Construction  work continues on schedule.
