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.
