ICGB launches market demand assessment for capacity expansion of the IGB pipeline
The process includes a non-binding and a binding phase to determine the market feasibility of the capacity increase project targeting expansion from 3 bcm/y to 5 bcm/y
ICGB, the independent operator of the Greece–Bulgaria interconnector (IGB), is launching the non-binding phase of a process to assess market interest in expanding the pipeline’s capacity. The procedure is conducted under Regulation (EU) 2017/459 (NC CAM) and marks a key step toward reinforcing long-term energy security in the region.
The assessment, carried out in close coordination with the adjacent transmission system operators, will determine the feasibility of increasing IGB’s technical capacity from 3 to up to 5 bcm/year. Interested market participants are invited to submit their non-binding demand indications by September 1, 2025. All relevant documents and participation guidelines are available at https://www.icgb.eu/transparency/public-consultations/.
