Corinth Pipeworks, a part of Cenergy Holdings, has won the 58.2m-euro tender for delivery of pipes for construction of the gas interconnector between Bulgaria and Greece.

The Greek pipe maker was one of the three pre-selected candidates, one of which withdrew from the procedure, while the other did not meet the technical requirements. Bulgaria plans to start using the 182-kilometer gas pipeline from 2020 onwards to import Azerbaijani gas and thus end its almost full dependence on Russian natural gas.
