Bulgarian natural gas transmission system operator, Bulgartransgaz, is exploring the possibility of investing in a second LNG terminal in Greece, as outlined in Greece’s National Energy and Climate Plan recently submitted to the European Commission.
Currently, Bulgartransgaz holds a 20% stake in the Alexandroupoli LNG terminal in northeastern Greece, which began operations in October 2024. The company has expressed interest in participating in the development of another LNG facility in northern Greece to further enhance regional energy infrastructure.
The Bulgarian government has highlighted the strategic significance of expanding natural gas infrastructure in its National Energy and Climate Plan, emphasizing key projects such as the Alexandroupoli LNG terminal and the Greece-Bulgaria gas interconnection. Bulgaria’s interest in a second LNG terminal signals a broader shift and growing investments in the natural gas sector across southeastern Europe.
