Great Britain wants to invest in alternative energy in Azerbaijan

Baku / 26.02.20 / Turan: Trade Envoy of the British Prime Minister for Azerbaijan, Baroness Nicholson will visit Baku on February 27. 

The British Embassy in Azerbaijan informs that the Baroness will take part in the sixth ministerial meeting within the framework of the Consultative Council on the Southern Gas Corridor.

“This indicates a high level of cooperation between the UK and Azerbaijan in the energy sector. Baroness Nicholson also said that the UK is ready to invest in the renewable energy sector of Azerbaijan.

Great Britain is ready to share experience and invest in expanding Azerbaijan’s huge solar, wind and hydropower potential,” it was informed.

Nicholson will meet with senior officials of Azerbaijan, representatives of British business circles, and will visit the Center for Joint and Healthy Autism.
