据11月12日Trend报道，ICGB项目公司的执行董事Teodora Georgieva表示，希腊-保加利亚(IGB)互联管道将改变欧州东南部的能源版图。

Georgieva表示：“我们已经动员了所有力量来建设连接保加利亚和希腊的管道，我们感谢两国政府和欧盟委员会的持续支持，这个项目将改变该地区的能源版图，多国政府官员视察了哈斯科沃地区的IGB建设进度。”

他补充道：“让我们回顾一个简单但强有力的原则:能源安全就是国家安全。IGB不仅仅是一个管道项目。这个项目将大大加强保加利亚的国家安全和主权，并为保加利亚消费者带来降低能源成本的希望。现在我们期待着这个项目取得快速进展。我们欢迎保加利亚政府通过持股和容量预订来支持亚历山德鲁波利斯浮式存储和再气化装置，这将扩大IGB的力量，把保加利亚变成一个真正有活力的天然气中心，”大使穆斯塔法补充说。

IGB是一条天然气管道，它将允许保加利亚接收阿塞拜疆的天然气，特别是阿塞拜疆沙赫德尼兹2号天然气和凝析气田生产的天然气。预计IGB将与TAP相连，通过TAP，沙赫德尼兹气田的天然气将输送至欧洲市场。

“希腊-保加利亚互联互通项目”设想了两个阶段的发展。第一阶段，管道输送能力为30亿立方米，其中27亿立方米将供应长期市场，其余3亿立方米将供应短期市场。在第二个阶段,将根据市场的发展,由于增加了一个压缩站，管道的容量可以增加到53亿立方米，其中45亿立方米的天然气将供应长期市场，5亿立方米的天然气将供应短期市场。

IGB will be game-changer in South-East Europe’s energy map

The Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) will be the game-changer in South-East Europe’s energy map, said executive director of ICGB project company Teodora Georgieva, Trend reports via Bulgarian media.

“We have mobilized all forces for the construction of the pipeline between Bulgaria and Greece and we are thankful for the constant support of the governments of the two countries and the European Commission. The IGB project will be the game-changer in the region’s energy map,” said Georgieva, as she joined U.S. Ambassador Herro Mustafa, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Bulgaria Nargiz Gurbanova, Greek Ambassador to Bulgaria Dimitrios Chronopoulos, and other government officials to inspect the IGB construction progress in Haskovo District.

“Let us recall a simple but powerful principle: Energy security is national security. And the IGB is not just another pipeline. It is a project that will greatly enhance Bulgaria’s national security and sovereignty and bring the promise of lower energy costs to the Bulgarian consumer,” Ambassador Mustafa told reporters.

“Now we look forward to seeing rapid progress on this project. We also welcome the Bulgarian government’s intention to support – via an ownership stake and capacity booking – the Alexandroupolis Floating Storage and Regasification Unit – which will magnify the power of the IGB to turn Bulgaria into a truly dynamic gas hub,” Ambassador Mustafa added.

IGB is a gas pipeline, which will allow Bulgaria to receive Azerbaijani gas, in particular, the gas produced from Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz 2 gas and condensate field. IGB is expected to be connected to TAP via which gas from the Shah Deniz field will be delivered to the European markets.

The Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria project envisages a two-stage development.

In the first stage, the pipeline capacity will be 3 billion cubic meters of gas, of which 2.7 billion cubic meters will be offered for the long-term market, the remaining share of 0.3 billion cubic meters in the short term.

In a second phase, also depending on the evolution of the market, the capacity of the pipeline can be increased to 5.3 billion cubic meters of gas thanks to the addition of a compression station: 4.5 billion cubic meters of gas 0.5 billion cubic meters of short-term gas will be offered for long-term products.
