Commercial operation of Alexandroupolis LNG terminal starting Tuesday

The commercial operation of the Alexandroupolis FSRU Terminal is starting on Tuesday, transforming Alexandroupolis into a new energy gateway for Central and Southeast Europe, according to operating company Gastrade.

"The project contributes to energy security and the diversification of the sources and energy supply routes of South-Eastern and Central Europe, decisively upgrading the role and importance of Greece in the modern energy map of Europe, becoming the energy gateway for more than nine countries," Gastrade said.

The Alexandroupolis LNG Terminal consists of the FSRU, a subsea and onshore natural gas pipeline, which connects the floating unit to the National Natural Gas Transmission System and through it will deliver natural gas outside of Greece and to Bulgaria, Romania, North Macedonia, Serbia, Moldova and Ukraine to the east, as well as Hungary and Slovakia...
