Some 30% rise in the price of electricity from coal plants foreseen

Approximately a 30% rise in the price of electricity from coal plants is expected. This will happen as early as next year, energy expert Ivan Hinovski said on Wednesday on Bulgaria on Air TV. Restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions are another reason for this. According to him, the price of the electricity mix will increase by at least 8%. Bulgaria's energy strategy, which was established two years ago, is not up to date and has to be revised in accordance with the current situation.

According to the energy expert, there should be a choice and customers should be able to buy electricity from various suppliers. In the field of gas, however, things are much worse because the public provider is only one, Ivan Hinovski explained. It is said that the second entity, with which gas quantities can be agreed, is Overgas, but I'm not sure how soon that can happen, he commented. Regarding gas production in Bulgaria, Hinovski explained that plans, schedules and forecasts for gas production in Bulgaria are to be reported by the company Total.
