Azerbaijan Proves to Be Reliable Energy Partner for Europe: TAP Managing Director

The Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) transports gas produced in the Caspian Sea to European markets, Luca Schieppati, Managing Director of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP AG) Consortium, said on Wednesday.

"Over the past 5 years, we have become a significant contributor to the security of Europe's energy supply," he said at the Baku Energy Forum, The Caspian Post reports, citing local media.

According to him, more than 47 billion cubic meters of gas have been exported to Europe, with 39 billion cubic meters delivered to Italy.

“We have exceeded the nominal transmission capacity. We rely on a reliable, sustainable source - Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has established itself as a sustainable and reliable supplier for Europe. We can manage any risks in real time with technologies such as artificial intelligence and drones. All these technologies ensure the daily reliability of the pipeline,” he added.
