The Mazhilis has ratified the Agreement on Strategic Partnership in the production and transmission of green energy between Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan. The project envisages the creation of an energy corridor that will allow environmentally friendly electricity, as well as hydrogen and green ammonia, to be exported from Central Asia to Europe via the Caspian Sea, Orda.kz reports.
The agreement was signed in 2024 by the leaders of the three countries. Authorities describe it as one of the most ambitious energy projects in the history of independent Kazakhstan.
One of the project’s key elements is the construction of a high-voltage deep-water direct current cable along the bottom of the Caspian Sea. This is expected to give Kazakhstan direct access to the EU electricity market through a similar project in the Black Sea.
The Italian consulting company CESI is currently preparing a feasibility study. The cost of this work is estimated at one million euros. The funding is being provided through grants from the Asian Development Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which have also confirmed their readiness to allocate up to two million dollars to support the project.
In July last year, the three countries established a joint venture, Green Corridor Alliance, to coordinate the work of expert groups.
