These markets are all signatories of the Athens Memoranda of 2002 and 2003, which commit the participants to regional cooperation in electricity and gas. Most countries heavily rely on solid fuels (such as wood and coal) or electricity (that is generated from thermal power) to meet domestic energy needs. Natural gas markets are underdeveloped or do not exist. This study identifies regional, cross-border, and country-specific gas infrastructure projects that are economically, financially, and technically sound. It makes proposals for the institutional and policy issues related to funding and implementing gas infrastructure projects. This study also examines sources of gas supply from Russia, the Caspian region, and other current and prospective producer countries through Turkey and other transit routes (including liquefied natural gas) and it assesses costs of supply and gasification prospects in Southeast Europe. 2012-03-19T09:34:43Z 2012-03-19T09:34:43Z 2010 http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/main?menuPK=64187510&pagePK=64193027&piPK=64187937&theSitePK=523679&menuPK=64187510&searchMenuPK=64187283&siteName=WDS&entityID=000333037_20100723011753 978-0-8213-7864-9 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/2486 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank Publications & Research :: Publication Publications & Research :: Publication Europe and Central Asia Southeastern Europe Balkans
