New steps to ensure gas supplies for Bulgaria. "Bulgargaz" announces tenders for the supply of gas in the winter. One-third of the required quantities will be provided in this way. This was announced by the executive director of the supplier, Denitsa Zlateva, at a joint press conference with the Acting Minister of Energy, Rosen Hristov.
The caretaker government has set itself the goal of providing twice as much natural gas as is needed for consumption in the country, announced Energy Minister Rosen Hristov. Therefore, "Bulgargaz" announces three tenders:
1. for the supply of liquefied gas for November and December 2022
2. for the supply of liquefied gas for 2023
3. for the supply of liquefied gas in the period 2024-2034
"The caretaker government is focused on ensuring gas supplies at least until the end of the heating season, ideally until the end of 2023," Hristov said.
"Unlike previous procedures, in which there were no clearly defined conditions and stages and there were no evaluation criteria, the tenders will go through several stages - pre-selection of candidates - clear ownership of the company, no commercial restrictions, reliability and experience with the supply of liquefied gas. The second stage is the submission of offers and the third stage - ranking and evaluation of the offers according to clear criteria. The goal is to have traceability, publicity and transparency," said Zlateva.
The tender for the long-term supply of liquefied gas will take 6 months and the winner will be determined during the next regular government. The tender is being announced now so that there is enough time to complete all stages, Zlateva specified.
"The long-term tender is strategic for achieving real diversification and for guaranteeing supplies for a period of 10 years. There is a 10-year capacity reserved for it in advance in Alexandroupolis," she explained.
Yesterday, the company expanded the reserved capacity for the supply of liquefied gas from the terminal in Alexandroupolis. It is expected to be operational in 2024. Until then, our country will negotiate for additional slots at various liquefied gas delivery terminals. Read More...
