Two of the three discussed Vertical Gas Corridor routes position the IGB pipeline as core infrastructure, offering direct access to TAP and future LNG supplies from Alexandroupolis

More than 34.5 million MWh of natural gas have been transported through the Greece–Bulgaria interconnector (IGB pipeline) since the start of its commercial operations at the end of 2022. Operated by ICGB, the pipeline continues to play a vital role in strengthening energy security and diversification in Bulgaria and the broader region, with over 45 registered network users and stable market interest.

The interconnector currently supplies over 40% of Bulgaria’s domestic consumption during winter months, and more than 60% during summer, while also enabling virtual reverse flow deliveries to Greece.

In light of recent comments made during the public consultation organized by the Greek energy regulator RAAEY regarding the capacity auctions for gas year 2025/2026, ICGB provides several clarifications.

Reverse flow from Bulgaria to Greece at the Komotini interconnection point (IP ICGB-DESFA) is currently not technically feasible due to the absence of corresponding entry capacity. Once such capacity becomes available, ICGB remains ready to offer commercial reverse flow products at this interconnection point.

In the meantime, ICGB continues to offer commercial reverse capacity at the Komotini interconnection point (IP ICGB-TAP), enabling gas flow from Bulgaria to Greece and Italy under competitive tariffs and supporting regional flexibility.
