Azerbaijan integrating into European electricity market
The creation of Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey energy bridge in the future will allow Azerbaijan to integrate into European electricity market, Etibar Pirverdiyev, head of electricity producer Azerenerji JSC, wrote in his article published by the “Azerbaijan” newspaper on October 19.
According to him, currently, one of the topical issues is to ensure Azerbaijan’s active participation on regional electricity markets, as well as in the North-South and East-West energy corridors, Azernews reports.
“For this purpose, a number of necessary technical and organizational measures are taken to unite the electric grids of Russia, Azerbaijan and Georgia in a single synchronous zone. High voltage lines are created, through which the exchange and transit of electricity is carried out, and their capacity has been increased,” says the article.
Meanwhile, a substation is also being built to expand transit opportunities and synchronize power systems, according to the article.
Currently, Azerbaijan's power system operates in parallel with the energy systems of Russia and Georgia.
