Athens built another floating liquefied gas storage platform on the island of Revitusa.

The amount of gas in the storage has doubled, the Ministry of Energy informs.

Athens and Sofia have an agreement to supply Bulgaria with regular quantities of gas from Revitusa.

This terminal already covers 80% of Bulgaria's needs, the Greek minister announced.

Greece intends next year to cover 50% of its energy needs from renewable sources.

Through the interconnection with Bulgaria, there is a possibility to supply Hungary with natural gas as well.

Until the commercial operation of the interconnector, our country will receive in full the agreed quantities of Azeri gas at the temporary delivery point - Nea Mesemvria, the government press service specifies.
