On April 4, 2025, in Baku, the ministers responsible for energy from both countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation in the field of energy between their respective ministries. This MoU provides a solid foundation to expand our cooperation with Azerbaijan in the energy sector, particularly in areas such as natural gas, renewable energy, digitalization of energy systems, and hydrogen.
This was stated by Mitja Blaganje, Secretary General of the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sports of Slovenia, in an interview with Report, as reported by Renewables.az.
"Both nations are investing in renewable energy projects, including solar and wind power, which could be expanded to other markets through joint initiatives," Secretary General said.
Blaganje noted that Slovenia assumed the Presidency of the IRENA Assembly for a one-year term this January. While this role does not carry any additional decision-making authority over IRENA’s work programme, it serves as a strong signal of Slovenia’s commitment to international cooperation in advancing renewable energy, including with Azerbaijan.
