BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 6. A meeting
between the Minister of Economy and industry of Bulgaria Nikola
Stoyanov and Minister of Economy Parviz Shahbazov took place,
Trend reports via
Shahbazov's Twitter.
'We discussed the commercial commissioning of IGB Gas
Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria and the gas supply to Bulgaria
within the expansion of the TAP Trans Adriatic Pipeline. It is
predicted that approximately 600 million cm of gas will be exported
to Bulgaria by the end of the year,' he stated.
Azerbaijani gas supplies to Europe through Southern Gas Corridor
started on December 31, 2020. Azerbaijan for the first time in its
history exported natural gas to the European market through
pipelines. With direct access to the European market, which is the
largest importer of natural gas in the world, Azerbaijan
diversified its export possibilities. TAP, which is the European
part of the Southern Gas Corridor, annually supplies eight billion
cubic meters of gas to Italy and one billion cubic meters of gas
each to Greece and Bulgaria.
IGB will ensure the transportation of gas and supplies from new
sources, which makes it a key element of Bulgaria's energy security
and part of the national plan for the diversification of gas
sources. The pumping capacity of the gas pipeline will be three
billion cubic meters with the possibility of bringing it up to five
billion cubic meters. Half of the interconnector's capacity is
already reserved.
