The construction of a new gas storage on the territory of Bulgaria is one of the stages of the concept for expansion of storage capacity in our region (PCI Cluster 6.20 Increase storage capacity in South-East Europe) - the Balkans, East and South-East Europe, aimed to increase storage capacity, ensure gas transmission systems' flexibility, enhance market integration and guarantee the security of supply to the Bulgarian and regional natural gas market. Ensuring additional storage capacity is important in terms of the expected additional natural gas quantities in the context of the gas infrastructure development in the country and the region. The new gas storage would serve not only the national, but also the regional gas market after the planned construction of the new interconnections with the neighbouring countries and will serve as a tool to enhance security of gas supply. The construction of a new gas storage on the territory of Bulgaria is one of the stages of the concept for expansion of storage capacity in our region (Cluster 6.20 Increase storage capacity in South-East Europe), aimed to increase storage capacity, ensure gas transmission systems' flexibility, enhance market integration and guarantee the security of supply to the Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish, Macedonian and Romanian as well as the rest of the regional natural gas market - the Balkan peninsula and Central-East Europe and South-East Europe.
