ICGB AD is the project company of the IGB, the gas interconnector Greece – Bulgaria that connects the natural gas transmission network of Greece and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) near the town of Komotini with the Bulgarian transmission network near the town of Stara Zagora. The interconnector has an overall length of 182 km and a technical capacity of 3 bcm/y with the potential for expansion of up to 5 bcm/y.
A key strategic objective of IGB is to ensure energy diversification not only in terms of routes but also in terms of natural gas sources for Bulgaria and the broader region. As an integral part of the development of the Southern Gas Corridor, the IGB pipeline facilitates the access to substantial gas reserves from the Caspian region, as well as from existing and planned LNG terminals. IGB is set to create new market opportunities, enhance energy security, and promote international partnerships in the region.
Acknowledged as a priority project in the context of the CESEC initiative and recognized as a project of common interest in the third (2017) Union list of projects of common interest (PCI list), the gas interconnector Greece – Bulgaria is a game-changer for the Bulgarian energy market by introducing competition and ultimately leading to better pricing for consumers.
IGB is developed in great strategic synergy with broader energy infrastructure projects like TANAP and the LNG terminal near the Greek city of Alexandroupolis. With the terminal’s implementation, the IGB pipeline may witness a substantial capacity boost of up to 5 bcm/y, which empowers the region with the ability to handle increased gas volumes and ensures independent energy deliveries.
The company’s shareholders are Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH) and IGI Poseidon SA, with equal rights. ICGB AD has its headquarters in Sofia, Bulgaria.
