US firm Cheniere Energy is seeking to cooperate with Greece’s Public Gas Corporation (DEPA) and find a way into the Balkans through the country for American gas, with prospects including Ukraine too.

The company’s strategy in Greece and the broader region was presented on Wednesday in Athens by Senior Vice President International Jean Abiteboul, following contacts with Energy Minister Panos Skourletis and the DEPA management.

Abiteboul confirmed Cheniere Energy’s interest in utilizing the plan for the installation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal off Alexandroupoli, in Thrace, by Gastrade (controlled by the Copelouzos group). He also confirmed Cheniere’s interest in gas exports to Greece via the Revythousa terminal reports Kathimerini.
