Bulgargaz said in a statement on Wednesday that it has selected RWE Supply & Trading as the supplier of LNG for June 2025.
However, the firm did not provide further details regarding the LNG supplies.
Last month, Bulgargaz launched a procedure for the preliminary selection of companies to participate in its future LNG supply tender during the period June 2025 – June 2026.
“As a result of the procedure and taking into account the inclusion of both producers and traders of LNG who had gone through a previous LNG supply tenders’ selection procedure, Bulgargaz made a list of 34 approved suppliers, among which leading international producers and traders of LNG,” the company said.
Bulgargaz sent an invitation for the submission of bids to the approved suppliers on June 2, with four companies sending their bids by the June 6 deadline.
The company said each offer was assessed in compliance with the assessment methodology, and it selected RWE Supply & Trading as the supplier for June.
Bulgargaz will probably receive the LNG shipment via a Botas-operated LNG import terminal in Turkiye as the Alexoundropolis FSRU-based facility in Greece is not operational.
Last month, Greece’s Gastrade said it plans to resume Alexandroupolis FSRU operations on August 15 following a technical issue in January this year.
As previously reported by LNG Prime, UK-based energy giant BP supplied an LNG cargo to Bulgargaz via the Alexandroupolis FSRU in January.
The 2021-built 174,000-cbm BW Lesmes delivered the shipment from the Freeport LNG terminal in Texas to the 153,500-cbm FSRU Alexandroupolis on January 19.
In November last year, Bulgargaz picked UK-based BP Gas Marketing, a unit of BP, and US-based Venture Global Commodities to supply two spot LNG cargoes via the Alexandrouplis FSRU-based terminal in January and February this year.
