Georgia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria and Turkey agreed to create an energy corridor to Europe.
The energy ministers of the four countries signed an agreement on a strategic partnership in the field of clean energy.
The document provides for the development of an infrastructure for the transmission and supply of electricity from renewable sources.
The agreement was signed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Georgia Mariam Kabrivishvili, as well as the heads of the energy departments of Azerbaijan, Bulgaria and Turkey.
As part of the project, it is planned to create a "green corridor" with a capacity of at least 2-3 thousand megawatts. To achieve this, countries will open new transmission lines, expand existing cross-border infrastructure and cooperate in the production, transmission and trade of clean electricity.
For Georgia, the project opens up an opportunity to diversify supply routes and directions for exporting electricity, as well as sell green electricity produced in the country on European markets.
