Baku, Azerbaijan, April 4. Europe would show
significant interest in purchasing Azerbaijani gas if the country
can increase its gas supply, European Commissioner for Energy and
Housing Dan Jørgensen said at a press conference following the 11th
Southern Gas Corridor Advisory Council Ministerial Meeting and 3rd
Green Energy Advisory Council Ministerial Meeting in Baku, Trend reports.
“A green transition is underway in Europe, with renewable energy
sources rapidly developing. However, gas will remain an integral
part of our energy mix for the foreseeable future. I am confident
that if Azerbaijan is able to increase its gas supply, Europe will
be highly interested in purchasing it. One of the main purposes of
my visit today is to explore how we can make this possible. Of
course, this will require further negotiations between the European
Commission and the government of Azerbaijan, but it is also a
subject for discussion with individual member states, companies,
gas transmission system (GTS) operators, and other key
stakeholders,” he said.
