In the territories freed from occupation, the full energy transmission is about to be completed, at least partially, and the distribution infrastructures have already been restored.

Javid Abdullayev, director of the State Agency for Renewable Energy Sources, who is on a visit to Georgia, said this in a statement to APA's Tbilisi correspondent.

He said that there are no technical problems for the future transportation of electricity obtained from alternative energy sources in the liberated territories to Europe: "The liberated territories are fully integrated into the energy system of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

From this point of view, there is no technical problem for export.

We have a huge alternative energy potential in the liberated territories.

In particular, our hydro potential is very serious, at the same time, our solar and wind potentials are estimated at about 10 gigawatts.

"We have already started field activities with BP for the construction of a very large, industrial-scale 240 megawatt solar power plant, and geological and geotechnical studies are underway."

Javid Abdullayev noted that the alternative energy produced in East Zangezur will be transported to Turkey through the Zangezur corridor, and from there to Europe: "An alternative line of ours is also being considered through the Zangezur corridor.

As you know, the foundation of the 330 kilovolt station has already been laid in Jabrayil and it is expected to be completed by May.

With the support of that station, it is possible to export the electricity produced in the territories freed from occupation through the Zangezur corridor to Nakhchivan, from there to Turkey, and from Turkey to Europe.

Javid Abdullayev noted that active work has been started towards the realization of the Black Sea submarine electricity cable project.

He added that Azerbaijan's electricity transmission through this cable will not end only with Romania and Hungary, in the future it is also planned to transport electricity to other European countries: "As you know, the strategic dialogue in the field of energy between Azerbaijan and the European Union (EU) has already started.

Last summer, EU President Ursula von der Leyen was in Baku and an agreement was signed together with the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, and a new breath was given to this process.

After that, on December 17, an agreement on cooperation in the field of "green energy" participation and transportation was signed between 4 countries - Azerbaijan, Georgia, Hungary and Romania, and that process was started.

One of the uniqueness of the agreement is that the mechanisms and tools for its implementation have been set within it.

These are two collegial bodies - one is the steering committee, the first meeting of which took place on February 3 within the framework of the first meeting of ministers within the Green Energy Advisory Council, and that format began to operate with the participation of ministers from 4 countries.

In parallel with that format, a meeting of the working group is planned.

The first meeting of the Working Group was held online last Friday.

Very serious issues were discussed.

That is, related to this entire value chain - from the Caspian Sea to Europe, Romania and Hungary.

Of course, this process will not end only with these countries.

Extensive analyzes including other European countries have already been started and the process continues within the framework of mutual cooperation.

The director of the agency said that the geological works initiated by Georgia in the Black Sea together with Romania are not enough for Azerbaijan: "The Georgian side is conducting research in the direction of the (Black Sea) underwater electricity cable with the support of the World Bank together with Romania.

Geological issues are such that we need slightly more volumes than the ones explored by Georgia.

But, of course, there are negotiations in the field of sharing their information, there are preliminary agreements.

That is, the Azerbaijani side and our European partners in general will use and benefit from those data, of course, with copyright protection.

But what is important for us is the whole value chain - from the Caspian Sea to Europe, this is a part of it."
