For the first time in its history, Bulgargaz announces a competition for a non-Russia natural gas supplier. Nikolay Pavlov, the Executive Director of the company, announced.
"We launched a tender on 15 March. This is the first procedure that Bulgargaz announces for the purchase of natural gas outside Russia. There are clearly defined criteria and requirements for the participants. All are invited to submit their offer," Pavlov said. According to him, this is "something new and important, which will be in the interest of Bulgarian consumers".
As for the virtual delivery point, the quantities are approximately 144 million cubic meters. Asked why Bulgargaz is launching this tender right now, Pavlov replied that there are currently conditions for buying the "blue fuel" at a lower price.
He specified that there is a possibility of delivery from Romania or Greece.
