The interconnector Greece - Bulgaria aims to start commercial operations in 2021, announced Teodora Georgieva, ICGB Executive Officer. The #IGB project is designed to bolster Bulgaria’s natural gas supply diversity and security. The pipeline will allow access to natural gas from Azerbaijan through the Southern Gas Corridor (including the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline) and to #LNG at the planned Greek terminal in Alexandropoulis.
“Linden Energy, DEPA, Edison and SOCAR have booked capacity in the #interconnector and they are all completely new players to the Bulgarian gas market that are entering the country for the first time. This is a great achievement for our state in the energy sector. The IGB project is defined as a game changer as it allows new traders to enter the Bulgarian gas market,” said Georgieva in an interview with Luka Dimitrov for ICIS.
