NATURAL GAS
The new gas interconnector between Greece and Bulgaria flowed 1.1TWh in the first month of operations, exceeding the target of 889GWh, operator ICGB said.
- The interconnector started commercial operations on 1 October.
- At current rates, gas flow via the new pipeline on an annualized basis would be 1.1 Bcm. The link is able to transport up to 3Bcm/yr of gas and is expected to be ramped up to 5Bcm/yr in the coming years.
- "The quantities of gas currently being transported through the interconnector provide nearly one third of Bulgaria's internal consumption since the beginning of the heating season," ICGB said.
- The interconnector will allow Bulgaria to take the full 1Bcm/yr it has contracted to buy from Azerbaijan.
