The discussion also focused on the role of CESI SpA, which has been engaged as a consulting company for the TEAS of the "Green Energy Development and Transmission Project" between Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. Topics such as the participation of Bulgaria in the project, the transportation of renewable energy from Central Asian countries through this corridor, infrastructure financing, and the involvement of European companies were also discussed.
