(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 11. Completing the
Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) is a top priority of the
Bulgarian government and the crisis taskforce, Deputy Prime
Minister for Economic Policies and Minister of Transport and
Communications Hristo Aleksiev said, Trend reports via BTA.
'The state is mobilized and will help the contractor to complete
the project,' said Aleksiev.
He pointed out that efforts will be made to have the connector
complete by the heating season.
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.
