据SeeNews报道,保加利亚政府已经批准天然气运输运营商Bulgartransgaz收购Gastrade 20%的股份,Gastrade是一家在希腊北部沿海城市亚力山德里亚波利斯开发浮动液化天然气(LNG)终端的公司。
保加利亚政府在一份声明中表示,参与LNG接收站项目符合保加利亚多样化天然气供应来源和路线的长期能源战略,并将支持该国巴尔干天然气枢纽项目的发展。
Bulgartransgaz公司将通过出资建设液化天然气接收站成本的20%来获得股权。此外,保加利亚天然气公司还将参与液化天然气接收站的市场测试,每年预定3 - 5亿立方米的天然气,为期3 - 5年。收购完成后天然气可能会通过正在建设的希腊-保加利亚天然气互联管道输送。
亚历山德洛波利斯液化天然气终端项目计划包括一个用于接收、储存和再气化液化天然气的海上浮动装置,以及一个海底系统和一条陆上天然气输送管道,未来天然气将通过这个管道输送到希腊的天然气管网。
保加利亚目前几乎从俄罗斯进口其所需的所有天然气。从1月1日起,保加利亚开始通过土耳其接收俄罗斯天然气,取代了经由罗马尼亚和乌克兰的输送路线。

Bulgartransgaz to acquire 20% interest in Greek LNG terminal
According to SeeNews, Bulgaria's government said that it has issued approval to gas transmission system operator Bulgartransgaz to acquire 20% interest in Gastrade - the company developing a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal off Greece's northern coastal city of Alexandroupolis.
The participation in the LNG terminal project is in line with Bulgaria's long-term energy strategy for diversification of gas supply sources and routes, and will support the development of the country's Balkan Gas Hub project, the government said in a statement.
State-owned Bulgartransgaz will acquire the shareholding interest by financing 20% of the cost of construction of the LNG terminal. In addition, Bulgargaz will participate in the LNG terminal's market test by booking between 300 and 500 million cu me of gas per year for a period of 3 to 5 years. The gas will likely be delivered through the gas interconnector Greece-Bulgaria, which is currently under construction.
The Alexandroupolis LNG terminal project is planned to comprise an offshore floating unit for the reception, storage and re-gasification of LNG and a system of a subsea and an onshore gas transmission pipeline through which the natural gas will be shipped into the Greek natural gas system.
Bulgaria currently imports almost all of the natural gas it needs from Russia. As of January 1, Bulgaria started receiving Russian gas via Turkey, replacing the delivery route via Romania and Ukraine.
