Specific Criteria Fulfilled Comments
The concept for the creation of gas hub on the territory of Bulgaria is based on the idea significant quantities of natural gas from different
sources to enter into a given real physical point in the region of Varna for their further transport and a venue for gas trade is organized at the
same time at this point ² a hub where every market participant could trade in gas. The idea of building the gas hub is supported by the
strategic geographic location of Bulgaria, the well-developed existing gas infrastructure for transmission and storage and the projects for the
construction of interconnections with Romania, Turkey, Greece and Serbia.
