The European Union is currently experiencing a very serious energy crisis, said Cristina Lobillo Borrero, Director of Energy Policy, Strategy and Coordination, European Commission (EC), during her speech at the Baku Energy Forum held as part of Baku Energy Week.
According to her, the energy crisis took place amid the backround of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Considering this, diversifying gas supply routes is very important, Ednews reports.
Cristina Lobillo Borrero noted that Azerbaijan is a reliable partner of Europe in the gas supply issue. Currently, work is ongoing in the direction of increasing the gas transported from Azerbaijan to Europe by 20 bcm per year.
She also added that the European Union is cooperating with Azerbaijan on the energy transition issue in addition to gas supply.
