Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, and Bulgaria are discussing the creation of a land corridor for electricity transit. Negotiations on the project are already underway, announced Inga Pkhaladze, Deputy Minister of Economy of Georgia.
According to her, the initiative will allow Georgia to utilize its strategic geographical position and transform the country into an energy hub of the South Caucasus. Electricity supplies from neighboring states to European countries are planned to be organized through Georgian territory.
The government representative noted that the project could provide the first direct energy connection between Georgia and Europe, which was previously absent due to geographical limitations.
In addition to its transit function, the corridor is expected to create new opportunities for Georgian electricity exports. According to Pkhaladze, the development of such infrastructure will contribute to the growth of the country's energy sector and the emergence of new opportunities for local businesses.
