"Azerbaijan is investing in the energy of the future, such as your plans to develop offshore wind energy in the Caspian Sea," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said while delivering a joint statement with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku
"You have both the ambition and, of course, the potential to become a hub for clean electricity, and this fits perfectly with Europe's own clean transition. So, we see enormous potential to deepen our cooperation on renewables, on electricity interconnections, and on regional energy networks. We welcome your plans to build a Green Energy Corridor linking Azerbaijan with the European Union. Greater renewable generation can also free up more gas for export and thus help reinforce regional energy security by sharing it with your neighbors. We very much welcome also your suggestion of an electricity cable to Armenia. This is a very interesting point. So, what I'm describing is basically that renewables are powering the future of our economies, and here in the South Caucasus, they can also help power peace," she added.
