ATHENS, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary agreed on Thursday to upgrade the interconnection and transport capacity of their gas grids, part of their long-standing efforts to diversify gas sources and boost their role in Europe's energy supply chain.
"In coordination with DESFA, we have the opportunity to increase this capacity (to) up to 5 billion cubic meters per year," two senior executives at ICGB said, adding this should happen along with the commissioning of the LNG terminal off Alexandroupolis due in 2024.
In 2016, the four countries agreed to develop the necessary infrastructure for the realisation of the so-called Vertical Gas Corridor, which will enable bidirectional gas flows from Greece to northern Europe, through Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary.
ATHENS, Nov 30 (Reuters) - As demand grows for liquefied natural gas in Europe in the wake of the war in Ukraine, taxi prices Tailor Made Tour greece Greece has relied heavily on its sole LNG terminal off Athens to replace Russian gas imports.
ICGB, the owner of a second gas link between Greece and Bulgaria (IGB) - a key part of the Vertical Gas Corridor which began operations this year - and Gastrade, the developer of a floating storage and regasification unit off the northern Greek port of Alexandroupolis, also signed the agreement on Thursday.

taxi prices Dion greece's sole operational LNG regasification and storage terminal on the Revithoussa islet off Athens has played a pivotal role in the country's strategy to wean itself off Russian gas and boost the security of supplies ahead of winter.
"(It) is an important step towards the implementation of the Vertical Corridor, a project that will significantly contribute to the supply security of the wider region," Chief Executive of DESFA Maria Rita Galli said in the statement.
BEIJING, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Judging by Friday's quiet streets in China's capital Beijing and the reluctance of some businesses to drop COVID curbs, enduring anxieties about the coronavirus are likely to hamper a speedy return to health for the world's second-largest economy.
The country has already cut Russian gas imports by more than half this year thanks to increased deliveries from other producers to the Revithoussa facility, which is 5 miles (40 kms)from Athens and can store 225,000 cubic metres of gas and regasify 1,400 cubic metres per hour.
Under the memorandum of understanding signed on Thursday on the sidelines of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) conference in Athens, Greece's DESFA, Bulgaria's Bulgartransgaz, Hungary's FGSZ and Romania's SNTGN Transgaz agreed to begin talks on regulatory and economic aspects of the corridor, DESFA said in a statement.
Little more than a month after the National Health Commission stressed commitment to its strict virus containment policy, saying it was "putting people and lives first", authorities have changed tack and are now telling people they have less to fear.
Yet China has been anything but placid during the past few weeks, with protests against COVID curbs in many cities that marked the biggest show of public discontent since President Xi Jinping came to power a decade ago.
