14/05/2019 09:53
SOFIA, May 14 (Reuters) - Greece's J&P AVAX AVAr.AT has
won the tender to build a gas pipeline between Greece and
Bulgaria for 133.85 million euros ($150.46 million), project
manager ICGB said on Tuesday.
Bulgaria plans to launch construction of the 182 km (113
miles) interconnector link later this month and have it
operational in 2020 when it should start transporting Azeri gas
to Bulgaria and end its almost complete dependence on Russian
gas supplies.
