PM Borissov, Vice PM Djankov and minister Traikov reach an agreement on the Belene NPP

PM Boiko Borissov, Vice PM and Finance Minister Simeon Djankov and Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism Traicho Traikov, came up with a common stance on the Belene NPP project. PM Borissov said that Traikov is directly responsible for the project. Vice PM Djankov was also present. The nuclear power plant has a future if the price of electricity to be sold abroad will be advantageous to the State. We are waiting for an answer to this question by the consultants from HSBC Bank with which Bulgaria will sign a contract on Monday. “This will set the project into a definite direction and we will make a political decision based on the consultants’ conclusions,” explained Traikov.

“When a vice prime minister or a minister is assigned a task, he or she is not the sole player and there is a team. In order to prevent further faults, we have set up a committee of experts from the Finance Ministry and the Energy Ministry,” explained PM Borissov. He also specified that the decision on whether to dismiss the head of the National Electricity Company (NEK) Krassimir Parvanov will be made at a meeting of the Board of the Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH).

“Nothing at present requires an increase of electricity prices. I am familiar with the state of our major power stations and there are no reasons for this so far,” stated PM Borissov.
