Türkiye and Azerbaijan are expanding their energy partnership beyond oil and gas into electricity transmission and green energy corridors, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said on Monday.
Speaking at the opening of Baku Energy Week, Bayraktar said Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Bulgaria and southeast European countries were working to strengthen regional energy connectivity.
"We are going to create the electricity version of TANAP," Bayraktar said, referring to the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline that carries Azerbaijani gas to Europe through Türkiye.
"You will be hearing much more in the coming weeks and months about the project to carry the electricity resources to Türkiye and, through Türkiye, to Europe," the minister noted.
The project could extend as far as Central Asia in the future, he said, adding that this would strengthen electricity trade and energy security on a regional scale.
