GAS HUB – PILOT PROJECT FOR ENERGY UNION Key mechanism to improve security of gas supply to Europe - a key objective of the European Energy Union, enhancing the negotiating power of the EU and its economic partners vis-à-vis the external gas suppliers Key project for the implementation of the Internal energy market - to overcome the energy dependence of the region of Southeast Europe, liberalization by creating a competitive gas market in compliance with EU legislation. Improving trans-border grid. Gas infrastructure, securing the Member States with natural gas at a competitive price, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly energy source - improving energy efficiency. Energy Union should be designed to maximize the benefits of energy efficiency and managing demand. In addition to energy efficiency, gas infrastructure allows reducing emissions in comparison to production from coal power plants alongside with this Bulgaria has achieved its targets for renewable energy sector. Modernization of the gas transmission network will allow the use of innovative new technologies, switching to automatic control mode and well balanced transmission system.
