The proposed corridor aims to replicate the TANAP gas pipeline model, enhancing energy links between Azerbaijan and Southeast Europe.
Turkey and Azerbaijan are developing an electricity corridor to strengthen energy connectivity between Azerbaijan and Southeast Europe. The project, announced by Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar, mirrors the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), which transports Azerbaijani gas to Europe via Turkey.
TANAP, operational since 2018, is a key component of the Southern Gas Corridor, delivering gas to Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria. The new electricity corridor would expand Turkey’s role as an energy transit hub, though specific capacity or timeline details were not disclosed.
No immediate market reaction was reported, but the initiative could diversify Europe’s energy supply routes amid ongoing regional energy security concerns.
