We are pleased to inform you that the scheduled date for the commencement of commercial operations is set for the 1st of July 2024 on which date ICGB may provide transportation services to the IGB Network Users 

The independent transmission system operator ICGB invites all interested parties to submit their registration documents by the 24th of June 2024 and binding bids later at the Bid Submission Window between 2nd and 12th of July 2024

Following a successful non-binding phase in 2023, the independent transmission system operator ICGB has initiated the binding phase of the incremental capacity process. As part of the Vertical Gas Corridor initiative, uniting the TSOs of Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova and Slovakia, ICGB’s efforts are focused on enabling increased capacity options for natural gas deliveries to Central and Southeastern Europe, as well as Ukraine and Moldova.

The company has a long-term social and environmental commitment to the regions through which the Greece-Bulgaria gas interconnector route passes 

ICGB provides financial aid to all municipalities along the Greece-Bulgaria interconnector route with a focus on small settlements. Within the campaign, a total of 305 442 BGN (156 170 EUR) will be donated to 12 municipalities. A total of 64 villages in Bulgaria and 7 in Greece will benefit under the campaign.  

The Independent Transmission System Operator is working on regulatory and permitting activities in collaboration with neighboring Transmission System Operators (TSOs), aiming to harmonize and expand the natural gas infrastructure across the region, thereby improving connectivity and bolstering energy security.

Following a tender procedure under the Public Procurement Act, ICGB is awarding a Bulgarian company with the contract for detailed design scope for GMS2 Stara Zagora that would allow capacity expansion of the IGB pipeline. The transmission system operator aims at upgrading the Gas Metering Station in Stara Zagora to boost its technical capacity from 3 bcm/y to 5 bcm/y.

The interconnector’s capacity expansion plans to reach 5 bcm/y will be of significant importance to enable accommodating 10 bcm/y of LNG from the terminals Greece and Caspian gas through the Southern Gas Corridor to reach Moldova, Ukraine, Hungary and Slovakia

The transmission system operators from the Vertical Gas Corridor (Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary) welcomed Moldova and Ukraine to the initiative through a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during Ministerial meeting of the High-Level Group on Central and South Eastern Europe Energy Connectivity (CESEC) held in Athens.

ICGB AD informs all interested parties that in the Public Procurement Register, on the CAIS platform, in the Buyer’s Profile, the following public procurements are open and active for participation.
