Bulgaria's interconnections with neighboring countries could entirely
meet the need of natural gas if the regular flow is disrupted, according
to the Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH).
The state-owned holding's CEO Jacquelin Cohen, who took over the
structure in July, told lawmakers on Thursday that gas consumption was
steadily declining in Bulgaria and would amount to less than 3 billion
cubic meters in 2014, Investor.bg reports him as saying.
Apart from being "sufficient", the capacity of interconnections could
also enable Bulgaria to export to other countries, for instance in
Serbia's western regions, Cohen argued.
Commenting on the idea for a Vertical Gas Corridor connecting Bulgaria,
Romania and Greece he said a pre-project study had not yet been
launched.
