bp: Construction for Shafag project to continue through mid-2027
Baku, November 6, AZERTAC
Construction activities for the Shafag project progressed on schedule in the Jabrayil district during the third quarter, bp-Azerbaijan told AZERTAC.
According to the company, two major contracts were awarded earlier this year — one for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, as well as operation and maintenance for the first two years of the plant’s operation, and the other for module supply.
Under these contracts, site mobilization has been completed, and construction is actively underway with earthworks and internal road building progressing steadily. In parallel, module supply activities have started, with the first shipment of panels successfully delivered to the site in August 2025.
Construction activities for the Shafag project are expected to continue through mid-2027, with a strong emphasis on using local resources. At its peak, the project is expected to create up to 400 jobs.
