Thứ sáu, 07/01/2011 - 20:55
Bulgaria will export an estimated 7500GWh of electricity in 2010, more than double its 2009 figure of 3700GWh, announced the National Electric Company (NEK). This represents 21.6% of total power generated in the country. Exports have increased significantly as domestic consumption was reduced by the recession. “We reached an all-time exports record this year,” Parvanov said. “Mainly because we improved the management of the tenders and our product.”

Exports have increased significantly as domestic consumption was reduced by the recession. “We reached an all-time exports record this year,” Parvanov said. “Mainly because we improved the management of the tenders and our product.”


For 2011, NEK president Krasimir Parvanov expects similar levels, adding that the country aims to become the undisputed leader in energy exports in southeastern Europe. In the new year, Bulgaria will start selling 500MW to neighbouring Turkey once the latter reconciles its transmission system with Bulgaria’s. In addition, Bulgaria has its eyes set on the Italian market.


Around a third of Bulgaria’s electricity comes from the Russian-built Kozloduy nuclear power plant, an additional 47% from coal-fired plants and 12% from hydropower facilities.
