Azerbaijan Starts Natural Gas Supplies to Germany and Austria
SOCAR expands exports to 16 countries, supplying Azeri gas to Germany and Austria via TAP, supporting EU plans to end Russian pipeline gas imports by 2027.
- On January 2026, SOCAR began delivering Azeri natural gas to Germany and Austria via connections to the Trans‑Adriatic Pipeline.
- After Russia cut supplies following the 2022 invasion and Nord Stream sabotage, the EU last month agreed to permanently stop importing Russian gas, prompting diversification.
- The TAP spans 878 kilometers and starts near the Evros area of Kipoi at the Greek‑Turkish border, linking to the Trans Anatolian Pipeline upstream.
- With Germany and Austria onboard, Azerbaijan now sells gas in 16 countries, and Azeri Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov said earlier this week that TAP is key to Europe's energy security for EU member states.
- Policy deadlines and infrastructure shifts point to continued demand for non‑Russian pipeline supplies, as the bloc plans to phase out LNG by December 31, 2026 and pipeline gas by September 30, 2027, while Germany has built regasification and floating import terminals.
