Shahdeniz 2 gas will meet 25-30% of Bulgaria’s gas consumption, Rosen Simitchiev, Adviser to the Minister of Energy of Bulgaria, said at the conference "Southern Gas Corridor and Energy Security in South-East Europe" held in Baku.
According to him, Bulgaria sees Azerbaijan as one of the main gas sources for Europe: ‘Azerbaijan is both main source and partner of the Southern Gas Corridor. Bulgaria is purchaser of Shahdeniz 2 gas to be transported from 2020 and will buy 1 billion cubic meters of Shahdeniz gas via Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB). ’
