Green light for the construction of unit VII at NPP Kozloduy

The decision on the initiation of construction procedure for unit VII of NPP Kozloduy was already submitted to the Council of Ministers and the GERB (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria) government is expected to approve it next week, announced the Deputy Minister of Economy, Energy and Toursism, Valentin Nikolov.
He participated in the discussion "Liberalisation of the Regional Markets", organised by Vienna Economic Forum and the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce. The Forum is held under the patronage of the Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. Once the decision is adopted, a working group will be set up to implement the project, specified Nikolov.

According to him, the Energy Bill, which was filed to the Parliament, will be endorsed until the end of the month. There will be a liberalisation of the Bulgarian energy market and only the market for the users of low-voltage electricity will be regulated. The contract for the South Stream gas pipeline project was already sent to the EU and all texts therein were synchronised. Furthermore, the project company owning the pipe, which will pass through Bulgarian territory, may request specific derogation in relation to this project as was the case with the Nord Stream pipeline construction. There are two options. The first refers to the implementation of the EU directives on liberalisation, which means that the project company should provide access to other companies to the conduits, while the second option pertains to granting derogation to the South Stream pipelines as was the case with the Nord Stream project," stated Nikolov.
