The company ICGB AD (ICGB) is in charge of developing, constructing and operating the Interconnector Greece- Bulgaria gas pipeline (IGB). ICGB has applied to the regulatory authorities of Bulgaria (EWRC) and Greece (RAE) for an exemption from certain provisions of EU Directive 2009\/73\/EC in accordance with art.36 therein.<\/p>\n

ICGB is launching a Market Test procedure as per \u201cUpdated Guidelines for management and allocation of capacity on the IGB INTERCONNECTOR according to paragraph 6 of article 36 of Directive 2009\/73\/EC\u201d (UPDATED GUIDELINES), jointly issued by EWRC and RAE.<\/p>\n

All Interested Shippers and TSOs are being invited to express interest in using IGB gas transportation services. The interest of other Transmission System Operators to interconnect their systems with the IGB Pipeline is also being invited.<\/p>\n

The Market Test is divided into two phases: 1. Expression of Interest Phase (on a non-binding basis); 2. Bidding Phase (on a binding basis).<\/p>\n

Participation in the Expression of Interest Phase is a prerequisite for subsequent participation in the Bidding Phase.<\/p>\n

The Expression of Interest Phase, where interested parties are invited to present non-binding expressions of interest, starts with the publication of the Expression of Interest Notice.
