Bulgaria: French, US Companies 'Interested' in Supplying Gas to Bulgaria Energy watchdog KEVR's head Ivan Ivanov

French company Engie and US-based Cheniere have confirmed they are interested in importing natural gas to Bulgaria starting in 2016, a specialized energy website has announced

It also quotes Ivan Ivanov, head of Bulgaria's energy watchdog KEVR, as saying at an energy conference the two companies were willing to deliver gas, but had previously experienced difficulties with their access to the gas grid which were removed after KEVR gave the green light to a new set of rules.

These allow free and non-discriminatory access to the network of state-owned company Bulgargaz. Authorities hope the step would encourage more companies to deliver gas to Bulgaria and help reduce energy dependence on Russia.
