Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC, Masdar, a global leader in clean energy, has described the project to create a “green energy corridor” from Central Asia to Europe as an outstanding and highly strategic initiative, said Masdar’s Chief Operating Officer Abdulaziz Alobaidli during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.

“We support this project not only because it creates investment opportunities for us, but also because, as specialists in cross-border electricity connections and energy trading, we consider it a key direction,” he emphasized. Alobaidli noted that the project increases electricity demand while also partially compensating for the intermittency of renewable energy sources.

On 13 November 2024, at the COP29 summit in Baku, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement on the development and transmission of green electricity. The project aims to export green energy from Central Asian countries to Europe. The energy route involves laying a cable across the Caspian Sea, through Azerbaijan and Georgia, and then under the Black Sea to Romania.

In 2025, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan established the joint venture Green Corridor Union LLC to implement the project, with its headquarters in Baku. Italian firm CESI will serve as a consultant and prepare a technical and economic feasibility study.
