Kazakhstan Ratifies Agreement with Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan on the “Green Corridor”

MARCH 12, 2026

Kazakhstan’s Parliament ratified the Agreement on Strategic Partnership in the Field of Production and Transmission of “Green Energy” between Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan during today’s plenary session.

According to Report’s Kazakhstan bureau, the document envisages the creation of a “Green Energy Corridor” that will connect Central Asian countries with Europe via the Caspian Sea.

The agreement was signed by the heads of state of the three countries on November 13, 2024, within the framework of COP29 held in Baku. It aims at the efficient use of renewable energy potential, trade in environmentally clean electricity, as well as the export of “green energy,” ammonia, and hydrogen to European markets.

According to information from Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Energy, the key element of the project is the laying of a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cable across the Caspian Sea. Through this cable, clean electricity produced in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan will be transmitted to Azerbaijan, and from there to Europe via the Black Sea energy project.

The technical-economic feasibility study (TEFS) for the project is being prepared by the Italian international consulting company “CESI.” The cost of preparing the TEFS is approximately 1 million euros and is financed through grants from international financial institutions.

On July 1, 2025, the system operators of Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan established the joint venture “Green Corridor Alliance,” which coordinates the implementation of the project and organizes regular working meetings of experts. Each country holds an equal 33.3% share in the joint venture.

The Ministry of Energy believes that the realization of the project will enable Kazakhstan to increase its export energy potential, strengthen its position as a reliable partner in the sustainable energy sector, and transform the country into one of the main energy hubs of Eurasia.
