Türkiye eyes a central role in regional energy architecture with a new electricity corridor stretching to Saudi Arabia, according to a report on Wednesday.
The country is pursuing a new electricity corridor linking Saudi Arabia to Türkiye through Jordan and Syria, a project that could expand regional power trade, improve grid flexibility and strengthen Ankara's role as an energy bridge between the Gulf, the Middle East and Europe.
Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said on Aug. 6 that talks with Saudi Arabia were continuing on the proposed large-scale transmission network.
The project could later be extended to Lebanon, given the country's high electricity needs, Bayraktar said.
The proposed corridor is part of Türkiye's broader effort to strengthen regional energy links and expand electricity trade with neighboring and nearby markets.
