Bulgaria and Greece agreed on the construction of a pipeline that will allow Bulgaria to import natural gas from the Caspian Sea region, energy officials said yesterday. Bulgaria's state-owned Energy Holding signed an agreement yesterday with Greek natural gas monopoly DEPA and Italy's Edison SpA on setting up a company to construct and operate the pipeline, and a second company to supply and make commercial use of the natural gas. The link, dubbed Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria, will allow Bulgaria to import one billion cubic meters of gas from Azerbaijan each year from 2012 through the ITGI pipeline due to carry Caspian gas via Turkey and Greece to Italy. EDN (Milan) was unchanged at 95 euro cents ($1.50).
