Azerbaijan started negotiations for increase of electricity import from Russia, head of the Public Relations Department of the Azerbaijan’s energy company Azerenerji Yahya Babanli said.
"Azerbaijan started talks to increase electric power import from Russia. Chief executive of Azerenerji Etibar Pirverdiev leads the negotiating process from the Azerbaijani side," Babanli said without detailing import volumes.
