European Commission’s VP due in Azerbaijan
By Trend
European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic will visit Azerbaijan, Trend learned from the European Commission.
He will take part in the upcoming meeting of the Southern Gas Corridor Consultative Council to be held in Baku Feb.15.
Earlier, the US Department of State official told Trend that Acting Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs Sue Saarnio will attend the event.
The Southern Gas Corridor is one of the priority energy projects for the EU. It envisages the transportation of gas from the Caspian region to the European countries through Georgia and Turkey.
At the initial stage, the gas to be produced as part of the
Stage 2 of development of Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz field is
considered as the main source for the Southern Gas Corridor
projects. Other sources can also connect to this project at a later
stage.
As part of the Stage 2 of the Shah Deniz development, the gas will
be exported to Turkey and European markets by expanding the South
Caucasus Pipeline and the construction of Trans Anatolian Natural
Gas Pipeline and Trans Adriatic Pipeline.
