Azerbaijan launches first leg of SGC
Azerbaijan “With this project we are creating a new energy map of Europe,” said Ilham Aliyev, the country’s president, cited by AFP.
The 3,500-kilometre project will tap Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz 2 gasfield and will merge with the Trans-Anatolian pipeline that will carry the gas all the way to Italy, bypassing Russia. It is expected to come on stream in 2020.
The news came days after Turkey and Russia struck a deal for the construction of the land portion of the rival TurkStream pipeline, which will carry Russian gas via Turkey to Europe.
