The Black Sea submarine cable line (Azerbaijan-EU green corridor) opens up opportunities to ensure the supply of clean energy to Europe.
As Day.Az reported on Friday with reference to Trend, the Minister of Energy of Romania Sebastian-Ioan Burduja said this today, speaking at the plenary session within the framework of the 10th ministerial meeting within the framework of the Advisory Council of the Southern Gas Corridor and the 2nd ministerial meeting within the framework of Green Energy Advisory Council in Baku.
According to him, Romania’s transport system operator TRANSGAZ has ensured reverse flow capacity in transit pipelines so that the Trans-Balkan Corridor can operate at full capacity and supply the necessary gas not only to Romania, but also to other countries in the region.
“The Black Sea submarine cable line has significant potential for the transmission of renewable energy. This provides an important opportunity to ensure the supply of clean energy to Europe,” he said.
It should be noted that today the 10th ministerial meeting was held in Baku within the framework of the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) Advisory Council and the 2nd ministerial meeting within the framework of the Green Energy Advisory Council. The meeting was attended by representatives of 23 countries, 6 international organizations and 44 companies, as well as ministers, deputy ministers and other high-ranking officials from Azerbaijan and the countries of the European Union.
On December 17, 2022, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania and Hungary signed a strategic partnership agreement, which provides for the construction of an energy bridge from the Caucasus region to Europe.
As part of the agreement reached, the construction of a Black Sea Energy undersea electric cable with a capacity of 1,000 MW and a length of 1,195 kilometers is expected. The cable will be designed to supply green electricity produced in Azerbaijan through Georgia and the Black Sea to Romania for onward transport to Hungary and the rest of Europe. This will allow for the supply of up to four gigawatts of green energy.
