oil yeah oil started in this
country but the same country just
launched the biggest solar Park biggest
solar this is a big deal the first oil
country is now going green let me tell
you how this place is
gigantic look at how big this
[Music]
is well welcome
to a country you don't know much about
but you should aeran is between Europe
and Asia with a very rich culture and
history you can literally see it written
on the walls check these paintings
they're more than 14 ,000 years old
aaran is also rich with lots of natural
gas coming out of the ground and lots of
oil too oh it's so hot and it's burning
247
365 but here's the thing azerbajan knows
that this energy will not last forever
you know what lasts forever the sun and
the wind that's why azaran teamed up
with mustar from the UAE hello hello to
build this gak solar
Park this is as big as 700 football
fields oh my God look at this it's a sea
of solar panels half a million of them
it's as far as the eye
can see over half a million solar panels
power more than 100,000 homes with 100%
clean energy it will support to reduce
200,000 tons of emission per year we've
signed a 10 gaw program with the
ministry of energy and the first 1 gaw
has came to realization just earlier
this
year this doesn't just help the Planet
this helps
people these projects create local jobs
like this guy who was literally working
in oil and gas and now he's doing sun
and wind why do you like this this is
clean this renewable and creating the
job opportunities for my people so it's
motivating Me by 2030 aaran plans to
power 30% of the country with 100%
renewable energy like this and this year

Baku imagine the first country to make
