BAKU, Azerbaijan - Siemens Energy has joined the technical planning of a proposed green electricity corridor linking Central Asia to Azerbaijan and, potentially, onward to European markets.
Green Corridor Alliance JV and the German energy technology company signed a memorandum of understanding in Berlin to explore cooperation on power-transmission systems and possible consulting models for the Central Asia-Azerbaijan Green Energy Corridor, Vesti Baku reported.
The memorandum was signed on the sidelines of the Kazakhstan-Germany Business Forum during Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s official visit to Germany, according to Renewables.az, citing Green Corridor Alliance.
The document is not a construction contract and does not commit the parties to a specific investment or electricity-supply volume. It creates a framework for examining the corridor’s technical configuration, commercial model and Siemens Energy’s possible role.
A Three-Country Energy Link
The corridor is being developed under a strategic partnership agreement among Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Its goal is to connect the three countries’ power systems and create a route for renewable electricity from Central Asia across the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan.
Project planning includes high-voltage interconnectors, integration of solar and wind generation and telecommunications infrastructure along the future transmission route. Feasibility work is expected to compare land and subsea options, environmental requirements and a cross-border power-trading model.
The Central Asian-Azerbaijani section could eventually connect through Georgia to a separate Black Sea electricity corridor serving European markets. Final construction schedules and total costs have not been announced.
Uzbek officials said in July 2026 that the country was considering exports of between 2 and 5 gigawatts of renewable electricity to Europe beginning in 2030. Those figures are an ambition for the broader corridor, not a capacity commitment contained in the new Siemens memorandum.
Cooperation Began During Baku Energy Week
Green Corridor Alliance and Siemens Energy began formal technical discussions earlier in 2026. The companies signed a nondisclosure agreement during Baku Energy Week in June, which they described as a step toward cooperation on the green energy corridor.
The alliance is headquartered in Baku and was established to support the three governments’ agreement on developing and transmitting green energy.
The memorandum also fits Azerbaijan and Germany’s broader energy agenda. A bilateral strategic declaration signed in Berlin on July 21, 2026, identified green energy, low-carbon hydrogen, energy efficiency, connectivity and infrastructure among priority areas for cooperation.
The next major step for the corridor will be the selection of a recommended interconnection design. Only after feasibility studies are completed can the partners move toward engineering, financing and a commercial framework.
