The more alternatives we have to importing natural gas, the better, the lower the prices for consumers.

This was said to journalists on the sidelines of the Parliament by the Deputy Chairman of the PG of "Democratic Bulgaria

"Democratic Bulgaria" is a centrist-right political union, composed of Vladislav Panev, a reporter told Novini.bg.

Currently, the situation is such that we have enough capacity to inject liquefied gas through the terminals in Greece and Turkey.

The question is about the sources of this gas - the more diversified sources, the more competition.

Competition gives birth to quality and lower prices.

Looking at the situation on the international markets in recent days, it is very likely that from the next heating season, industry, individuals and district heating companies will receive relatively favorable prices for natural gas, said Panev.

Purely physical liquefied gas can come by ship, through liquefied gas terminals, such as those in Greece and Turkey, which are also connected to Bulgaria by gas pipelines.

The process is physically clear, the question is the source of this gas, he added.

In response to a question whether there will be supplies of liquefied gas by June, the Deputy Chairman of the PG of "Democratic Bulgaria

"Democratic Bulgaria" is a centrist right-wing political union made up of Vladislav Panev, saying: "I don't know if this will happen by June.

As far as I know, there were deliveries of liquefied gas in Bulgaria last week, the storage in Chiren probably has enough reserves for the month ahead, so I do not expect problems with natural gas until the end of the summer. "

Vladislav Panev clarified that the question of whether we have enough alternatives for importing natural gas in Bulgaria was discussed in the ruling coalition.

Yes, we have enough alternatives to import natural gas.

The more diverse the sources of natural gas we negotiate, the better, it means lower prices, he noted.

Petkov met with US Vice President, contracts gas supplies at prices lower than Gazprom's

According to him, the interconnector with Greece should work until the new heating season.

This means 1 billion cubic meters of additional Azerbaijani gas.

This will affect not only the quantities delivered to Bulgaria, but also the price, because under the contract the price of Azerbaijani gas is tied to the price of oil, which means that it would probably be many times lower than that. , which we would buy from Gazprom.
