Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Georgia and Bulgaria have signed an intergovernmental agreement on a strategic clean-energy partnership, moving a proposed green energy corridor into a new phase.
The project is intended to create a route for electricity generated in Azerbaijan to reach Türkiye and European markets, Vesti Baku reported.
The agreement was signed in Antalya during the COP31 conference by Azerbaijani Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov, Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar, Georgian Deputy Prime Minister and Economy Minister Mariam Kvrivishvili, and Bulgarian Energy Minister Iva Petrova.
Four Countries Plan Linked Power Route
The countries agreed to develop the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Türkiye-Bulgaria corridor, strengthen regional energy connections and diversify electricity transmission routes.
Cooperation will cover trade in clean electricity, coordination of conditions for secure and uninterrupted transmission, and development of fiber-optic connectivity as part of the project.
The corridor is expected to carry electricity generated from renewable sources in Azerbaijan to Turkish and European markets. It is also intended to link the four countries’ power systems and strengthen Azerbaijan’s role as an interregional energy hub.
Initiative Advances Beyond 2025 Memorandum
The agreement follows a memorandum signed by the four countries’ energy authorities in Baku in April 2025. In May 2026, the parties completed the project’s terms of reference and agreed to prepare a road map.
Azerbaijan has said it wants to connect separate green energy corridors extending from Central Asia and the Caspian Sea to Türkiye and Europe.
The published materials for the new agreement do not yet specify the planned corridor’s capacity, cost or commissioning schedule.
