Bulgargaz EAD launched today its first tender procedure for the supply of 500,000 MWh of liquefied natural gas for the month of April 2023. This will be the first cargo expected to be delivered to a Turkish liquefied natural gas terminal, along the line of the agreement concluded between the Bulgarian company and the Turkish company Botash for access to the gas infrastructure in Turkey. Among the conditions for participation in the auction, the sources of the supply of liquefied natural gas must be from countries without imposed sanctions, embargoes or any trade restrictions, the company announced today.

An important condition is that the supplier has experience in the supply of liquefied natural gas, having already delivered at least 2 loads of LNG. The total delivered amount of liquefied natural gas must be at least equivalent to 1,500,000 MWh, it is already written in the procedure.
