Kardzhali is building a connection with the Komotini - Stara Zagora gas pipeline

Kardzhali will be included in the gas connection Greece - Bulgaria. An automatic gas control station (AGCS) is currently being designed, from which the blue fuel will be distributed to the district town, said Mayor Hassan Azis. "Which means that all public buildings, industrial enterprises… to gas for heating, which will qualitatively improve the air at the moment, "he said.

The construction of the interconnector continues at the moment, as so far more than 100 kilometers of pipes have been laid, and a few days ago the route under the dam "Studen Kladenets" was successfully overcome. The facility is of special importance for security of supply and diversification of natural gas sources, reminds BNR.

According to the project, the gas interconnector has a connection with the town of Kardzhali, but the AGRS itself is being built by another, local investor. Dimitrovgrad was planned to have a similar connection, but the assessment of whether and what kind of AGRS is up to the state-owned Bulgartransgaz.
