Armenia is discussing the possibility of importing electricity from several countries, including Azerbaijan.

Axar.az reports, citing local media, that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made the remarks at a briefing on Thursday.

"There are different modes of electricity supply. Sometimes countries have a surplus, while at other times they have a need. Given Armenia's investments in artificial intelligence, we need to understand whether, if necessary, it would be possible to import electricity from somewhere, including Azerbaijan," he said, commenting on the meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani representatives in Lachin on issues of electricity export and import.

He also noted that Armenia is discussing these issues with Georgia, Turkiye and Iran:

“A substation is being built on the border with Georgia with funding from the European Union. This project will facilitate the import and export of electricity.”

It should be noted that a meeting was held on August 25 in Azerbaijan’s Lachin between representatives of the relevant agencies of Azerbaijan and Armenia. The meeting discussed possibilities for importing and exporting electricity between the two countries, as well as coordinating energy infrastructure at the state border.
