BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 10. Interconnector
Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) is fully operational, the ICGB AD, the
pipeline operator, told Trend , as Azerbaijani gas supplies to Bulgaria have
been temporarily suspended.
The company said it was also recently notified about a temporary
unplanned pause in Azerbaijani gas deliveries.
“Meanwhile, ICGB's infrastructure is fully operational and
fulfilling other client nominations as usual. We're not aware of
the technical details that caused this as the issue does not lay
with the interconnector's facilities,” said the company.
Bulgargaz Energy Company of Bulgaria announced the suspension of
gas supplies on January 9, noting that deliveries are expected to
resume by January 11, 2025.
“The notice of this temporary halt was received from the
Azerbaijani supplier on January 6, 2025,” the company stated.
Azerbaijan supplies natural gas to Bulgaria via the
Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector, with an existing pipeline capacity
of 3 billion cubic meters per year, which has the potential to be
expanded to 5 billion cubic meters.
Trend reached out to the Azerbaijani side for clarification, but
by the time this article was published, there had been no
response.
