Main Driver Explanation
With the implementation of the project improvement of the transmission system·s efficiency, reliability and flexibility will be achieved, ensuring the
necessary capacities and pressures including pressure recovery, bottlenecks removal, providing technical capabilities for transmission of additional natural
gas quantities through the territory of the country, in relation to the planned new entry and exit points and opportunities for diversification of the
transmission directions depending on the market interest and last but not least management optimization of the gas flows and setting the facilities
meeting the ecologic requirements. Thus the technical and economic parameters of the existing gas infrastructure which has been in operation for forty
years now will be improved.
Benefit Description
The project implementation will contribute to increasing the degree of market integration, creating a competitive gas market, encouraging the trade
development, ensuring greater systems· flexibility, risk management optimization. It is directly related to the planned new interconnections with Greece
(IGB), Romania (IBR), Turkey (ITB) and Serbia (IBS) and with the use of the UGS Chiren·s capacity in relation to the project for its expansion, most of them
labeled as PCIs, and with the development of the significant cross-border gas projects in the region. Their efficient use is related to the technical capacities
of the existing gas transmission infrastructure on the territory of Bulgaria to ensure sufficient capacity and adequate technical conditions for the transport
of the planned new natural gas quantities. The project was supported at the highest political level, as well as at regional level ² it is a priority CESEC project.
