BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 5. Phase 1 and
Phase 2 projects of the Caspian-Black Sea-Europe Green Energy
Corridor have been included in the TYNDP (Ten-Year Network
Development Plan) 2026 portfolio, the Azerbaijani Ministry of
Energy told Trend.
The European Network of Transmission System Operators for
Electricity (ENTSO-E) has published a preliminary list of
electricity infrastructure projects to be assessed under the next
TYNDP.
The aforementioned portfolio encompasses a total of 178
transmission initiatives and 49 storage undertakings.
These projects were submitted by project promoters during the
first application phase held from April through May 2025.
ENTSO-E checked the compliance of all applications with the
acceptance criteria for the TYNDP 2026 and confirmed that the Green
Energy Corridor project covering Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, and
Hungary also met the requirements.
In the next phase, the second application window was open from
September 15 through October 15, 2025, and targeted projects at the
idea stage.
All submitted projects will be subjected to a comprehensive
administrative and technical evaluation process in November
2025.
A comprehensive cost-benefit analysis will be executed for all
initiatives encompassed within the TYNDP 2026 portfolio throughout
the year 2026.
The outcomes will be disseminated at the conclusion of the
subsequent fiscal year.
The European Network of Transmission System Operators for
Electricity (ENTSO-E) unites European TSOs to protect and
coordinate Europe’s high-voltage power infrastructure. It aims to
improve the European electricity market, incorporate renewable
energy, and build infrastructure. To support these goals, ENTSO-E
writes network codes and long-term network strategies.
To recall, the Agreement on a Strategic Partnership in the Field
of Green Energy Development and Transmission between the
Governments of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, and Hungary was signed
in Bucharest on December 17, 2022. The agency responsible for the
implementation of the project, the Green Energy Corridor Energy
Company (GECO), has been established. As many as 10 Steering
Committee/Ministerial Meetings were held over the past period. The
feasibility study of the project is being carried out by the CESI
company.
