Bulgaria’s state-owned gas supplier Bulgargaz EAD has chosen TotalEnergies, Metlen Energy & Metals, and Shell to supply liquefied natural gas under a tender for deliveries through the Alexandroupolis floating terminal in Greece.
According to Bulgargaz, more than ten international companies took part in the tender. Based on ranked offers, the company selected TotalEnergies and Metlen Energy & Metals to deliver LNG cargoes in October and December 2025, and Metlen Energy & Metals together with Shell for January and March 2026.
All four tankers are planned to be loaded at liquefied natural gas terminals in the United States.
The tender, announced on September 16, covered four cargoes totaling 4,000,000 MWh within Bulgargaz’s reserved capacity at the Alexandroupolis Terminal.
Thirty-seven international LNG producers and traders that had previously passed Bulgargaz’s approval procedure were invited to participate.
The company said the tender “secures the quantities of natural gas nominated by Bulgarian domestic and industrial consumers for the autumn-winter season,” with deliveries scheduled in coordination with the terminal operator Gastrade S.A.
Bulgargaz EAD is Bulgaria’s public supplier of natural gas and a wholly owned subsidiary of Bulgarian Energy Holding EAD, the state energy holding company. It holds the national license for the public supply of natural gas and is responsible for balancing domestic demand with contracted import and LNG sources.
