Bulgaria to play key role in supplying LNG from the US to Ukraine

Bulgaria has a real opportunity to become a leading regional gas distribution and transit hub, the Ministry of Energy announced after the participation of Minister Traycho Traykov in the Transatlantic Summit on Security of Gas Supplies, which was held in Washington on February 24-25.

According to Traykov, Bulgaria can play a key role in transporting liquefied natural gas from the US to Ukraine and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. This will diversify supplies and open up opportunities for additional investments in the national gas transmission network from Greece to Romania. At the forum, the energy ministers of 12 European countries and the US signed a joint statement. Regular state consultations, coordination between gas operators and regulators, and joint actions to create a transparent gas market are planned.
