Baku hosted the 11th Southern Gas Corridor and 3rd Green Energy Advisory Councils, uniting officials from 24 countries.

The EU and Azerbaijan reinforced energy ties, with discussions on renewables, hydrogen, and emissions reduction. Over 25 billion cubic metres of Azerbaijani gas was delivered last year, with a growing share reaching EU markets.

Bulgaria announced work on the Vertical Gas Corridor, while Masdar confirmed $1.2 billion in renewable investments. A new memorandum signed by Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan supports the Caspian Green Energy Corridor, aiming to boost cross-border electricity trade and accelerate clean energy transition.
