The UK highly appreciates Azerbaijan's role in ensuring Europe's energy security, British ambassador to Azerbaijan Fergus Auld said in an interview with Report.
“I have seen in my time a number of presidents, prime ministers, and energy ministers coming to Baku because they recognize the role that Azerbaijan is playing in energy security for Europe, particularly in Southern, Eastern, and Central European countries in terms of gas supplies,” he said.
“What's really struck me as well, including at the Southern Gas Corridor conference that His Excellency the President hosted a few months ago, that was both looking at gas, but also for the first time looking at green energy,” Auld stressed.
The ambassador said they were very pleased to have supported the World Bank and IFC report on offshore wind capacity in the Caspian: “We're very proud that His Excellency, President quotes that figure of 157 gigawatts of wind offshore wind capacity that exists. Azerbaijan is thinking about future problems and how it needs to adapt its own economy, how it needs to attract investment and expertise in order to realize that vision. The UK will continue to be absolutely at the heart of that future, as well as the present and past of Azerbaijan's energy.”
