Bulgarian gas transport operator Bulgartransgaz, which has a 20 percent stake in the first phase of the new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Alexandroupolis, will analyze the possibility of acquiring a stake in the second phase of the terminal as well, CEO of Bulgartransgaz Vladimir Malinov says, Trend reports.
The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) consortium is consulting with Greek gas transmission operators on a technical agreement that covers the possibility of delivering gas to eurozone buyers from the new floating liquefied natural gas terminal (FSRU) in Alexandroupolis to their markets via TAP.
A source knowledgeable in this matter exclusively told Trend about this.
The Greek group "Copelouzos" will soon buy out Gazprom's stake in the Greek consortium "Prometheus Gas" and will become the sole shareholder in the consortium, as it currently owns 50 percent of the capital and the rest 50 percent are held by the Russian state-owned gas giant, a source from " Copelouzos" told Agence France-Presse today, BTA reported.
"This is a divorce by mutual consent mainly because of the war in Ukraine and the European sanctions," said an employee of the Kopeluzos group, who wished to remain anonymous.

The intermodal transport corridor Thessaloniki-Kavala-Alexandroupolis-Burgas-Varna-Rousse will soon not be just an ambitious plan, we are determined to make it a reality. This was the general opinion expressed at a meeting today between the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Policies and Minister of Transport and Communications Hristo Alexiev and the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport of Greece Kostas Karamanlis. Rail and road connectivity, as well as cooperation between Bulgarian and Greek ports, was the main topic of the conversation.
Interconnection with the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) will turn Alexandroupolis into a new energy hub, Trend quoted Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias as saying following his visit to the Port of Alexandroupolis.
The implementation of the Trans-Adriatic gas pipeline (TAP), Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) interconnector and Ionian-Adriatic pipeline (IAP) projects, that provide Azerbaijani gas to Europe, needs to be accelerated.
