According to CMS, “the German holding company Vier Gas Transport was awarded the contract upon the final decision of the contracting authority, ICGB AD, published on August 29, 2022. The IGB project is of key importance for the energy security of Bulgaria and is widely considered a number one priority for the energy development of the country in the coming years. Under the winning proposal, Vier Gas Transport GmbH will lead the execution of the project and will be supported by the Swiss Enerimpulse SA as well as by German e-loops GmbH.”
