Ukraine seeks Azerbaijani role in energy modernization

Azerbaijani companies could take part in the joint production of energy equipment and the modernization of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Ukraine's Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Yuriy Husyev, said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

"The next logical step could be the participation of Azerbaijani companies not only in urgent repairs, but also in the joint production of energy equipment, as well as the modernization of Ukrainian energy: the construction of new facilities, the development of distributed generation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. We are already conducting such a dialogue with our Azerbaijani partners," Husyev said.

He noted that Azerbaijan has already assisted Ukraine following Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure by supplying transformers, generators, and other equipment.

Husyev added that Kyiv views cooperation with Azerbaijan in the energy sector as one of the key priorities for Ukraine's post-war reconstruction efforts.
