By connecting Greece and Bulgaria, ICGB, represent a key player in Europe ensuring the security and diversification of gas supplies for Bulgaria and the SEE region.

"ICGB joining PRISMA represents an important step towards the integration of the Eastern European market into our well-established community of European operators, thus increasing the harmonisation and transparency of the gas market,” said Gotz Lincke, PRISMA‘s Managing Director.

In line with its Exemption decision and the obligation to offer its non-exempted capacity following market-based procedures under Regulation 459/2017 CAM NC, ICGB will auction its capacity at the interconnection points with DESFA and TAP in Greece via PRISMA.

"This is an important step for ICGB, and by joining PRISMA, we are making an essential contribution to an integrated European energy market and diversification of supply” said Teodora Georgieva ICGB’s executive officer.
