Bulgaria could become hub for Azerbaijani gas supply – envoy
29 January 2018
Bulgaria may become a hub for supply of Azerbaijani gas to Europe, said Azerbaijan’s ambassador to Bulgaria Nargiz Gurbanova.
"Energy has always been a cornerstone of partnership between Azerbaijan and Bulgaria. Starting from 2020, 1 billion cubic meters of gas will be supplied from Azerbaijan to Bulgaria, which means that about 1 million households in Bulgaria will be provided with gas, "she told Bulgarian media.
Gurbanova noted that gas will be supplied to Bulgaria via the interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB), which will be connected to the Southern Gas Corridor.
"The gas will go from Azerbaijan through Georgia, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Albania, and will be delivered to Bulgaria from Greece via the interconnector," she explained.
