(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 25. Mixing hydrogen
and all relevant to these technical processes will certainly remain
a key part of the future development of the Interconnector
Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) – in line with the development of the
market's evolution and in close cooperation with adjacent
transmission system operators (TSOs), the ICGB, the pipeline
operator, told Trend.
"While ICGB is dedicated to staying on top of sector trends and
continuing to develop the pipeline's infrastructure to meet market
demand and developments, current efforts are predominantly
dedicated to IGB's technical capacity expansion from 3 to 5 bcm/y.
The binding phase of the incremental process is planned for July
2024 and the company is working actively to make this possible,"
said the company.
The IGB gas pipeline connects with the Greek national gas
transmission system (DESFA S.A.) and the Trans-Adriatic gas
pipeline (TAP AG) in the area of Komotini (Greece), and with the
Bulgarian gas transmission system (Bulgartransgaz EAD) in the area
of Stara Zagora. The total length of the gas pipeline is 182 km,
the diameter of the pipe - 32'' - and a design capacity of up to 3
billion m3/year in the direction Greece - Bulgaria. Depending on
the market interest for larger capacity and the possibilities of
the neighboring gas transmission systems, the capacity of IGB is
designed with the option for increase up to 5 billion m3/year with
additional construction of a compressor station.
