* Electric energy sector in Azerbaijan is fully controlled by the state. Although on the post-Soviet space Azerbaijan occupies one of the leading places on retail power price, this sector still lacks a good market policy. Construction of almost all power stations, high voltage power lines and power distribution objects is also funded from the state budget.
