Overgas ready to pipe natural gas to ski resort Bansko
Bulgarian gas supplier Overgas is ready to build civic gas distribution networks in Bansko and Simitli, said Bansko mayor Alexander Kravarov.
Overgas confirmed it was interested in the project.
Ski resort Bansko and Simitli are located on the eastern and western side of the Pirin mountain respectively.
The Bulgarian government decided in May 2005 to allocate 30 mln levs from the dividend that state-run gas distributor Bulgargaz was due to remit to the national budget for investment in infrastructure connecting the Bansko, Razlog and Simitli areas with the exiting gas pipeline grid.
Bulgargaz executive director Kiril Gegov assured the said infrastructure will be built in 2006. The Bulgargaz board is expected to discuss the issue later this week.
