BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 23. Azerbaijan is
discussing wind energy transfer from the Caspian Sea bottom to
Europe with investors, Tural Aliyev, General Director of the Green
Corridor Alliance Joint Venture, established within the framework
of the Central Asia-Azerbaijan green energy corridor project, said
during a roundtable event on the occasion of the International
Clean Energy Day at ADA University, Trend reports.
According to him, currently, cooperation models are being
discussed with potential investors on the green energy corridor
(Black Sea Energy).
"Major work is underway to transport wind energy from the
Caspian Sea to Europe through the seabed. The feasibility study for
the project has already been completed, and cooperation models are
currently being discussed with potential investors," Aliyev
noted.
On December 17, 2022, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, and Hungary
signed a strategic partnership agreement outlining a plan to
construct a 1,195-kilometer-long, 1,000-MW subsea energy cable
under the Black Sea. This cable will transmit renewable electricity
generated in Azerbaijan and Georgia to Romania, and then on to
Hungary and other European countries, expanding Europe's access to
renewable energy sources from the Caucasus region.
In September 2024, Romanian transmission system operator
Transelectrica, Georgian State Electrosystem, Azerbaijani energy
concern AzerEnerji, and Hungarian energy company MVM established a
joint venture to implement the subsea cable project under the Black
Sea.
