Prime Minister Boyko Borissov stated that the future solution to the problem of the aborted Belene NPP project will become clear within one month and that the government was working in several directions.
“Energy Minister Temenuzhka Petkova has talked to the Russian side. In Iran now we shall find out whether there is any interest in selling the reactors there, together with the Russian side. A third possibility – to put it up for privatization. If none of these options work, then I shall go to the National Assembly and say: Colleagues, we either have to plan for this money in the new budget or lift the moratorium and look for the money to build it,” Boyko Borissov said.
A Bulgarian delegation, headed by the Prime Minister is leaving on a visit to Iran where it will look for a buyer for the equipment manufactured by the Russian Atomexportstroy for the Belene NPP project. Following a ruling by the Court of Arbitration in Geneva on the commercial dispute between the National Electric Company and Atomstroyexport, Bulgaria has to pay EUR 550 million in compensation to the Russian company for the two nuclear reactors commissioned for the cancelled Belene NPP project.
