Bulgaria and Greece plan to complete the construction of a 200-million euro ($258 million) pipeline connecting their natural gas grids by 2015, said Elio Ruggeri, chief executive officer of IGI Poseidon SA.
The 180-kilometer (112-mile) link will run from Komotini in Greece to Stara Zagora in Bulgaria and will be open to ship gas from the Caspian, the Mediterranean, or from a liquefied natural gas terminal in Turkey, Ruggeri said in an interview in the capital Sofia today. Its initial annual carrying capacity will be 3 billion to 5 billion cubic meters.
