Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, and Bulgaria have concluded a strategic partnership agreement in the green energy sector. The document was signed in Antalya within the framework of the UN COP31 climate conference. It provides for the creation of an Azerbaijan–Georgia–Turkey–Bulgaria energy corridor, which will allow electricity from renewable sources to be supplied to the markets of Turkey and Europe.
The countries intend to develop regional energy links, diversify electricity transmission routes, and agree on terms for safe and uninterrupted transit. In addition to energy infrastructure, the project envisages the improvement of fiber-optic communication networks. The initiative is expected to strengthen the energy security of the agreement's participants and create additional opportunities for the export of Azerbaijani electricity.
Work on the project began back in 2024. In April 2025, the energy ministries of the four countries signed a memorandum of cooperation in Baku. The new agreement moves the initiative to the next stage and consolidates the participants' intention to jointly develop cross-border infrastructure. In the long term, Azerbaijan expects to strengthen its position as a regional electricity hub.
