Main Driver Explanation

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.

Benefit Description

The creation of a gas hub aims at building the gas transmission infrastructure required to link the natural gas markets for the EU members states in the

region - Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia and through them to the members states from Central and Western Europe and to the

countries from the Energy Community - Serbia, Macedonia, Bosna and Herzegovina and others, thus contributing to achieving the main priorities of the

European energy policy. In the context of the European objectives to build an interconnected and single pan-European marker, the realization of the

projects, forming the gas hub concept, is in line with the projects for the development of the Southern gas corridor and in full compliance with the plans

for development of gas infrastructure in Europe to enhance the security of supply and the diversification of natural gas supply sources.
