Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan are interested in developing ‘green’ energy and are ready to undertake joint projects. This was reported by Gurbanmammet Elyasov, Turkmenistan’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Azerbaijan, according to the online publication ‘Business Turkmenistan’.

The diplomat noted that the countries are exploring opportunities to expand the use of renewable energy sources, including Turkmenistan’s participation in ‘green’ energy corridors across the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan could become a transit hub for the export of ‘green’ electricity to Europe.

Solar energy in Turkmenistan and wind energy in Azerbaijan, including projects in the Caspian Sea, have been identified as promising areas. Joint energy transmission infrastructure, undersea cables and the integration of systems for electricity exports are also under discussion.

Furthermore, the countries see opportunities for cooperation in the production and transport of ‘green’ hydrogen, the introduction of energy-efficient technologies, and the exchange of expertise and investment in renewable energy.
