ENGIE successfully purchased first volumes at Malkoçlar (Bulgaria-Turkey border exchange point) for the Turkish market. This deal allows ENGIE to import gas to Turkey via Bulgaria for the very first time.
ENGIE Global Energy Management Turkey (as ETP legal entity) joined this tender with the access of ENGIE.
ENGIE transfers the gas in Bulgarian – Turkish Border (Malkoclar) while Global Energy Management Turkey ) is one of the first spot pipeline gas importers in Turkey. ENGIE was the only buyer in the auction.
This deal opens up a new delivery point in the relationship with Gazprom and hopefully future opportunities for cooperation.
