Gas grid operator Bulgartransgaz has announced it is ready with a draft set of balancing rules for the gas market, a move that constitutes the first step toward liberalization.
Balancing gas purchase contracts, the rules themselves, and other documents are available (only in Bulgarian as of the moment) on Bulgartransgaz's website.
The documents are due to be submitted to the national energy regulator, the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (KEVR).

A mechanism must be established under the new rules for the submission of queries by companies vying to book capacities, he has added.
