Energy workers and miners from the Maritsa Iztok 2 thermal power plant submitted a demand to the National Assembly for the construction of a carbon dioxide capture installation. The installation can stop the closure of the energy capacities, trade union leader Stanimir Georgiev told the BNR.
The trade unions are not happy with the amendments to the Energy Act, by force of which Maritsa Iztok 2 has to close by 1 July, 2024. The country must get back on its feet and renegotiate the money under the Recovery and Resilience Plan, Stanimir Georgiev says. The financing of the installation can come from the thermal power plants themselves. “During the pandemic our power plants made this kind of money within the space of one year,” Georgiev said. The protesters give Romania, Poland and Sweden as an example of countries which have renegotiated their plans and are not closing down capacities.
