NATURAL GAS

Talks are underway to expand the capacity of the Trans-Adriatic pipeline (TAP) to Europe.

  • Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev on Friday said quick progress was necessary to be able to boost gas exports to Europe.
  • He said “With the European Commission we agreed by 2027 to increase the exports of Azerbaijani gas to Europe two times, up to 20 billion cubic metres. Without the expansion of TAP it won’t be possible,”
  • Supplies to Italy were 11.7bcm from a total of 13.5bcm of Azerbaijan gas exports in the last 18 months. Azerbaijan say gas exports to Italy will reach 10bcm this year.
