Story details
Azerbaijan and European Union officials held a clean-energy business roundtable in Brussels on October 2 alongside their high-level energy dialogue. The ministry said discussions presented opportunities in wind, grid infrastructure and energy efficiency and focused on ways European private companies might participate in Azerbaijan’s clean-energy sector. The event location was Belgium; the targets and projects concerned Azerbaijan and wider regional connections.
The ministry reported a national plan to raise wind and solar energy’s share to 38.7% by 2030, to be pursued with foreign and private companies. It also described new interconnections spanning Azerbaijan, the South Caucasus, Central Asia, Türkiye and Europe as potential areas for cooperation in electricity generation and transmission. These statements refer to plans and prospective links, not commissioned capacity.
Officials said the feasibility study for the Caspian–Black Sea–Europe green corridor had been completed and that the project had moved to a next development stage. The ministry said the immediate focus was attracting potential investors and strategic partners. European firms were invited to participate in the corridor and other initiatives, including a renewable-energy phase beginning in 2028.
The release names no investor commitment, financing package, construction contract, route capacity or commissioning date. The 38.7% figure is a stated 2030 target, not a current measured share or guarantee. The roundtable records government outreach and a project-development status; it does not show that the corridor or additional generation has been built.
