EU commissioner: 'It is important for us to strengthen cooperation on development of renewable energy'

For us, it is particularly important to strengthen cooperation on the development and deployment of renewable energy, also with a view to COP29 later this year, Kadri Simson, European Commissioner for Energy, said in an interview with Report.

According to her, Azerbaijan is an important energy partner for the EU: “Our 2022 energy Memorandum of Understanding not only aims to secure alternative gas deliveries to Europe but also lays the foundation for a long-term partnership on energy efficiency and clean energy. It will contribute to the diversification objectives of the REPowerEU Plan and help Europe end its dependency on Russian gas.”
