Türkiye and three neighbors sign clean energy partnership

Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria and Georgia signed a clean energy partnership to deepen cooperation in the energy sector.

The agreement was signed in Antalya during the COP31 climate conference hosted by Türkiye.

The countries aim to carry electricity from clean energy sources through Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye and Bulgaria to European markets.

They also plan to develop the technical and commercial arrangements needed for reliable cross-border electricity flows and connect their power grids.

The agreement includes plans to improve communication and data transfer using fibre-optic cables, and aims to strengthen regional energy security and clean power trade.

Türkiye’s energy minister said the project could also contribute to Europe’s energy supply security.
