BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 19 . The Interconnector
Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) has started test gas supplies, the ICGB AD,
the project company told Trend .
“We've initiated test runs with actual quantities of natural gas
as planned. However, it's not a start of the commercial
exploitation,” the ICGB AD said.
The IGB project is of key importance for increasing security of
supply and for ensuring diversification of Natural gas sources for
Bulgaria and the region of Southeast Europe. At the regional level,
IGB will provide access to the gas transmission network for
Bulgarian municipalities and regions that didn't have an option for
connectivity. The interconnector with Greece is an entirely new
route for the transmission of natural gas to Europe and will give
Bulgaria and the region access to supplies from new sources. The
project will connect the country with the Southern Gas Corridor and
has excellent synergy with other major energy projects such as TAP,
TANAP, EastMed and the LNG terminal at Alexandroupolis.
