Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Georgia and Bulgaria have signed a strategic partnership agreement on clean energy cooperation on the sidelines of the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, paving the way for the development of a regional green energy corridor linking the four countries.

The agreement was signed by Azerbaijan’s Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov, Türkiye’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar, Georgian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili, and Bulgarian Energy Minister Iva Petrova, according to Report.

The agreement aims to advance the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Türkiye-Bulgaria green energy corridor, strengthen regional energy connectivity and diversify electricity transmission routes.

It outlines cooperation on the transmission and supply of clean electricity, the establishment of conditions for safe and uninterrupted power flows, and improvements to fibre-optic communications infrastructure as part of the project.
