保加利亚将从2020年起接收阿塞拜疆天然气

据阿塞拜疆新闻网2019年11月17日巴库报道，希腊-保加利亚联网管道将从2020年起向欧洲市场输送阿塞拜疆的天然气。

保加利亚政府总理博伊科·鲍里索夫11日表示，保加利亚希望早日完成“希腊-保加利亚互联网络”(IGB)的建设，并希望阿塞拜疆的天然气能在2020年抵达保加利亚。

鲍里索夫今日与美国、阿塞拜疆和希腊驻保加利亚大使以及ICGB项目公司执行董事特奥多拉··乔治耶娃一起视察了IGB天然气管道的建设情况。

鲍里索夫说：“不迟于明年，保加利亚将能够接收来自美国、卡塔尔、塞浦路斯和埃及的液化天然气以及接收来自阿塞拜疆的管道天然气。明年，我们将能够告诉所有保加利亚人，你们没有任何依赖，你们可以从任何地方得到天然气。”

鲍里索夫强调说，天然气基础设施的建造将使保加利亚能够实现天然气供应来源的真正多样化。他指出，由于存在竞争，巴尔干天然气枢纽和天然气交易所将向保加利亚提供更便宜的天然气。

“No later than next year, Bulgaria will be able to receive liquefied gas from the USA, Qatar, Cyprus, Egypt, as well as natural gas from Azerbaijan. Next year we will be able to tell the Bulgarians - you have no dependence, and you can get gas from anywhere,” the press service of the government quoted the Prime Minister as saying.

Borisov emphasized that the foundation of a gas infrastructure will enable Bulgaria to achieve a real diversification of gas supplies. He specified that the Balkan gas hub and the gas exchanges will provide Bulgaria with cheaper gas as there will be competition.
