Bulgaria expects that Azerbaijan would be among the main suppliers of gas to the future Balkan gas distribution hub, this country’s Minister of Energy Temenuzhka Petkova said. The strategic energy partnership between Bulgaria and Azerbaijan envisages supplies of Azerbaijan’s gas through the Southern Gas Corridor via the Greece-Bulgaria gas interconnector. Azerbaijan’s gas will reach the Balkan gas hub via the gas infrastructure of Bulgartransgaz. This will guarantee diversification of gas routes and gas sources for Bulgaria and the region, Minister Petkova said and reminded that Bulgargas had negotiated to receive 1 billion cubic meters of gas per year from the Shah Deniz 2 gas field after 2020.
