An agreement on strategic partnership in the field of clean energy has been signed between the governments of Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia and Turkiye on the sidelines of COP31 in Antalya.

Axar.az reports, citing the Ministry of Energy, that the document was signed by Azerbaijani Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov, Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar, Georgian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili, and Bulgarian Energy Minister Iva Petrova.

The agreement aims to develop the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkiye-Bulgaria green energy corridor, strengthen regional energy connectivity and diversify transmission routes. It provides for cooperation in the transmission and supply of clean electricity, establishing the necessary conditions for secure and uninterrupted transmission, and improving fibre-optic communications infrastructure within the project.

The initiative is expected to facilitate the export of electricity generated from Azerbaijan’s renewable energy sources to markets in Turkiye and Europe, strengthen the energy security of partner countries, and help Azerbaijan become an interregional electricity hub.
