BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 3. Cooperation between
the EU, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine is shaping Europe's new energy
architecture, First Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Artem
Nekrasov said, Trend
reports.
He made the remark at a meeting of the Advisory Councils on the
Southern Gas Corridor and Green Energy in Baku.
"For Azerbaijan, the development of cooperation with Ukraine and
Central European countries opens up new prospects for expanding
natural gas exports to the European market. The development of
additional transport routes and the use of regional infrastructure
will allow for the diversification of sales markets, increase the
efficiency of the Southern Gas Corridor, and create new commercial
opportunities for Azerbaijani energy companies," he said.
Nekrasov noted that the further development of the Southern Gas
Corridor, the expansion of the capacity of the TANAP and TAP gas
pipelines, and the commissioning of new fields in the Caspian
region create the conditions for a significant increase in natural
gas supplies to Europe.
In this system, Azerbaijan acts as a reliable supplier of
resources, the EU as the key market, and Ukraine can play the role
of an important infrastructure and logistics hub, ensuring
flexibility and stability of energy flows in the region. Thus, the
development of cooperation between the European Union, Azerbaijan,
and Ukraine in the field of natural gas has the potential to become
one of the key elements in the formation of a new, more
sustainable, and diversified energy architecture in Europe," the
deputy minister added.
