Azerbaijan and Türkiye continue to deepen their strategic partnership, transitioning from traditional oil and gas toward an electricity-centric model. Key initiatives include a transmission line via Nakhchivan to Türkiye, a Green Electricity Transmission and Trade Corridor spanning Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye, and Bulgaria—described by Türkiye’s Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar as the ‘TANAP of electricity’—and a subsea Black Sea line intended to reach Romania and Hungary. Parallel to energy integration, Azerbaijan is advancing transport infrastructure linked to the Zengezur Corridor. The construction of the 110.4 km Horadiz–Agband railway, which includes eight stations and the country’s longest railway bridge, is nearing completion. To support urban mobility, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $302.38 million loan to modernize the Baku Metro. In the renewable energy sector, Azerbaijan aims to reach 8 GW of capacity by 2032, with a goal of 43% renewables in 2032. To support this, the national mix country has established a roadmap through 2060 aimed at reducing emissions by 2035. Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov expects to commission 11 to 15 implementing regulatory frameworks, mobilizing investment, and deploying low-carbon technologies. This strategy includes expanding solar and onshore wind plants by the end of 2027, totaling approximately 2 GW. Recent developments include discussions with China Datang Overseas Investment for 300 MW of green energy (100 MW solar power, modernizing networks, and 200 MW offshore wind) constructing Combined Cycle Gas Turbine plants to support blue hydrogen production. The plan also incorporates carbon capture, storage infrastructure, and a $58.6 million battery-based energy advanced battery storage project financed by PASHA Bank in collaboration with Turkey’s YEO Teknoloji to enhance grid stability. manage renewable energy intermittency. Financially, the State Oil Fund (SOFAZ) reported a 67% increase in assets over the last five years, rising from approximately $44.3 billion to $74 billion. Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) reported significant growth through the first nine months of 2026, serving nearly 3.3 million passengers.
