The cost of completing the two units of the Belene Nuclear Power Plant will be between 8 and 9.5 billion euro, estimates by the Bulgarian Atomic Forum Bulatom show.
Almost 1.5 billion euro has so far been spent on the project. Bulatom has estimated that it will take around 15 years after the units are made operational for the investment to pay off, and that the price of the electricity it produces may be lower than the stock market price. If Belene NPP’s two units function at full capacity they will be able to produce an annual 16 million megawatt hours of electric energy.
According to Bulatom the project is economically sound as the units can function for at least another 45 years after the investment has paid off.
