(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, Aug.9. The Interconnector
Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) project must be completed as soon as possible
because it is vital, said Ivan Shishkov, Bulgarian Minister of
Regional Development and Public Works, Trend reports via
Bulgarian media.
“The entire Bulgarian state supports the contractor of the
natural gas interconnector between Greece and Bulgaria to ensure
the completion of the project,” he said.
He added that some issues are yet to be completed and any delay
will be insignificant.
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.
