An agreement on strategic partnership in clean energy between the governments of Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia and Türkiye was signed on the sidelines of COP31 in Antalya.
“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports that the document was signed by Azerbaijan’s Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov, Türkiye’s Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar, Georgia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili, and Bulgaria’s Energy Minister Iva Petrova.
The agreement aims to develop the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Türkiye-Bulgaria green energy corridor, strengthen regional energy links and diversify transmission routes. It provides for cooperation in the transmission and supply of clean electricity, the establishment of conditions for secure and uninterrupted transmission, and improvements to fiber-optic communications under the project.
The initiative is expected to support exports of electricity generated from Azerbaijan’s renewable energy sources to Türkiye and European markets, strengthen the energy security of partner countries and help Azerbaijan become an interregional electricity hub.
