ICGB, the independent operator of the Greece-Bulgaria interconnector pipeline, has implemented the DAMAS MMS:G commercial dispatching platform as a central component of its digital transformation efforts. This new system automates all of ICGB’s business and operational processes, allowing the company to manage international gas flows with increased speed, consistency, and transparency.
Currently, the IGB pipeline transports 3 billion cubic meters of gas per year and is on course to expand its capacity to 5 billion cubic meters through ongoing development. The installation of DAMAS MMS:G acts as the backbone of ICGB’s comprehensive service management. It supports a wide range of functions, including the publication of available transmission slots on the PRISMA and RBP auction portals, processing of customer bookings, and allocation of capacity.
The platform also manages nominations and aligns them with neighboring network operators, performs daily flow balancing, calculates imbalances, generates required market and regulatory reports, and issues monthly invoices through its billing system. Its integration with the Balkan Gas Hub allows market participants to trade gas directly on the platform. ICGB’s leadership highlights that this advanced level of automation and data-driven operation not only enhances day-to-day efficiency but also strengthens the long-term resilience, security, and reliability of regional energy infrastructure.
