Baku, Azerbaijan, March 28. In February 2025,
the volume of gas transported through the Interconnector
Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) in direction Greece to Bulgaria stood at
804,794.90 MWh, ICGB, the pipeline operator, told Trend.
“The volume of supplies in the direction Bulgaria to Greece via
virtual reverse flow was 126,064.66 MWh,” said the company.
The Greece-Bulgaria interconnector connects Bulgaria to the
Southern Gas Corridor and is part of the Vertical Gas Corridor. The
pipeline strengthens energy connectivity and security in the
region, providing access to natural gas from new, diversified
sources. Currently operating at 3 bcm/y, the pipeline has the
potential to expand its technical capacity up to 5 bcm/y.
The interconnector currently secures about 70 percent of
Bulgaria’s internal natural gas consumption and is a reliable route
for diversified deliveries to key markets such as Moldova and
Ukraine.
