EU Partners with Central Asia for Renewable Energy Diversification
The European Union is diversifying its energy supplies by partnering with Central Asian nations. This collaboration aims to secure alternative energy sources as Russia reduces exports. The region is actively pushing into renewable energy, with ambitious targets and significant international interest.
Central Asian and South Caucasus nations are expanding their green energy sectors, both for domestic use and export. Azerbaijan, for instance, is involved in the Green Energy Corridor initiative, planning offshore and onshore wind power plants with international companies like Azerenerji OJSC.
Azerbaijan is also looking to increase its gas exports as it develops its renewable energy sector. Meanwhile, Moscow and Beijing have agreed on the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, which could impact Europe's energy future. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, however, have plans to export green electricity to Europe via a high-voltage cable corridor.
Uzbekistan aims to increase its green energy share to over 50% by 2030, while Kazakhstan targets 15% by 2030 and 50% by 2050. The Caspian-Black Sea-European Green Energy Corridor is also being developed to deliver Caspian offshore wind electricity to Europe.
Europe is seeking alternative energy sources due to reduced supplies from Russia. Central Asian and South Caucasus nations, with their growing renewable energy sectors and export plans, present promising opportunities for Europe's energy diversification.
