BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 1. Georgia considers
building a green hydrogen pipeline alongside an electricity cable
as part of the green energy corridor project, Deputy Minister of
Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, Inga Pkhaladze,
told Trend on the
sidelines of Baku Energy Week.
“The importance of this meeting lies in emphasizing the
importance of connectivity, which provides tools for overcoming
external shocks, preserving countries’ ability to make their own
decisions and resolve energy sector issues, and strengthening
national stability,” the deputy minister said.
She noted that strengthening energy security is key for Georgia,
which cannot be achieved alone, but only in cooperation with
neighboring countries.
In this context, Pkhaladze noted the joint work with Azerbaijan,
Romania, and other European countries.
She also emphasized that Georgia and Azerbaijan are
long-standing partners and cooperate in various directions,
including gas and electricity supplies during the winter.
“The Green Energy Corridor project is being implemented in two
directions: an overland route from Azerbaijan through Georgia to
Türkiye and Bulgaria, and a 4,000-megawatt submarine cable project
linking Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, and Hungary, designed to
export electricity and connect the South Caucasus with Europe,” she
concluded.
