Azerbaijan, EU hold high-level energy dialogue in Brussels

Azerbaijan, EU hold high-level energy dialogue in Brussels

Azerbaijan and the European Union held the third high-level meeting of their strategic energy dialogue in Brussels, focusing on natural gas supply, renewable energy development, and regional energy infrastructure.

The talks were co-chaired by Azerbaijan’s Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov and EU Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson’s representative Don Jørgensen. Discussions centered on the Southern Gas Corridor and energy transition.

According to the Azerbaijani delegation, by 2030, an additional 8 billion cubic meters of natural gas is expected to be produced under existing contracts. Furthermore, 1.5 bcm of gas is projected to be saved through renewable energy projects — including 2.7 GW of solar and wind power.

The sides noted that delivering this volume to European markets will require pipeline expansion, upstream investment, long-term commercial agreements, and mobilization of financial instruments.

The agenda also included the development of Azerbaijan’s renewable capacity and the Caspian–Black Sea–Europe Green Energy Corridor. Azerbaijan highlighted that diversifying energy supply routes and interconnectors is a strategic priority outlined by President Ilham Aliyev, not only for Europe’s energy security but also for geopolitical connectivity through Central Asia and the Middle Corridor.

“It is time to adopt a pragmatic approach and take concrete steps to boost Azerbaijani gas supplies to Europe,” Shahbazov said. He urged the EU to recognize the Caspian–Black Sea–Europe Green Corridor as a Project of Mutual Interest (PMI) and include it in the Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP).

EU Commissioner Jørgensen said the dialogue reflected a close strategic partnership that the EU shares with very few countries. “We value Azerbaijan’s efforts. Energy infrastructure is key to advancing the energy transition, and we are ready to explore ways to deepen integration between the South Caucasus and Europe,” he said.
