The Installation License for the Greek section of the Greek-Bulgarian Gas Interconnector (IGB) was issued by decision of the Minister of Environment and Energy George Stathakis, DEPA announced today.

The natural gas supplier DEPA is going to build a ship that will supply other vessels in Piraeus and other Greek ports with liquified natural gas (LNG). The project will be co-funded by the EU.

An agreement over a "formula" to finally privatize the Public Gas Corp. (DE.PA) was achieved this week between the Greek side and institutional creditors, with relevant procedures expected to begin in September and set to conclude in the first quarter of 2019.
