(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 24. In the current
geopolitical context, we see stable bilateral energy relations and
cooperation between the EU and Azerbaijan as an important factor
contributing to competitive, diversified, and secure gas supplies,
in line with the priorities of our REPowerEU plan, an EU official
told Trend .
'Building on the positive track-record of energy cooperation and
the successful start of gas deliveries via the Southern Gas
Corridor at a crucial juncture, the EU views Azerbaijan as a
reliable and strategic energy trading partner. We also see the new
MoU as an important contribution to the diversification of our
energy supplies and to the strengthening of our energy security,
with a view to broaden our cooperation in the field of renewable
energy,' said the EU official.
The supply of Azerbaijani gas to Europe through the Southern Gas
Corridor began on December 31, 2020. Azerbaijan exported its
natural gas to the European market through pipelines for the first
time in history.
The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) which is the European part of
the Southern Gas Corridor, annually supplies eight billion cubic
meters of gas to Italy and one billion cubic meters of gas to
Greece and Bulgaria.
