Daily Georgian Times, Georgia
March 20 2007
Tbilisi (GBC) – Azeri gas makes up 2.3 cu. m. of Georgia’s gas supply,
Georgian Energy Minister Nika Gilauri told reporters at a pumping
station in the village of Djandara which links Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum
gas pipeline with the Georgian distribution system.
According to the minister, Georgia has been receiving 1 m cu. m. of
Azeri gas though Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum gas pipeline for the last two
days. Azerbaijan’s state-run gas company Azerigas delivers 1.3 mln
cu. m. of gas a day.
Georgia receives 2.4-2.5 mln cu. m. of gas from Russia and 0.7- 0.8
mln cu. m. of gas as a transit fee for the Russian gas transported
to Armenia.
"Since gas delivery has been resumed through Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum
gas pipeline, we have succeeded to set a balance for 2007. Now we
plan to launch talks to revise the tariffs," Gilauri said.
Georgia pays USD 62.5 per 1000 cu. m. of gas delivered through
Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum pipeline, USD 120 for the Azarigas and USD 235
for the Russian gas.
