Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Georgia, and Bulgaria Sign Strategic Partnership Agreement on Clean Energy

An "Agreement on Strategic Partnership in Clean Energy between the Governments of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Republic of Bulgaria, Georgia, and the Republic of Türkiye" has been signed in Antalya within the framework of COP31.

Operativ Media reports that the document was signed by Azerbaijan's Minister of Energy Parviz Shahbazov, Türkiye's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar, Georgia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili, and Bulgaria's Minister of Energy Iva Petrova.

The agreement serves the development of the "Azerbaijan-Georgia-Türkiye-Bulgaria" green energy corridor, the strengthening of regional energy interconnections, and the diversification of transmission routes. The document provides for cooperation on the transmission and supply of clean electricity, defining the necessary conditions for secure and uninterrupted transmission, as well as enhancing fiber-optic communications within the project.

This initiative will contribute to the export of electricity generated from renewable energy sources in Azerbaijan to Turkish and European markets, strengthening the energy security of partner countries, and transforming Azerbaijan into an interregional electricity hub.
