Bulgaria and the United States are to expand the scope of their Intergovernmental Agreement for cooperation on the project for the construction of a new unit at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant and the civil nuclear programme. This possibility was discussed by Bulgaria’s caretaker Minister of Energy Vladimir Malinov and the Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey Pyatt. 

They also discussed the progress on the implementation of the Vertical Gas Corridor. “Currently, design work for the new infrastructure on Bulgarian territory is underway. The completion deadline is the end of 2025”, Minister Malinov said. The corridor's infrastructure includes the new LNG terminal in Alexandroupolis, the expansion of the Chiren gas storage facility and new pipelines. "These projects are a guarantee for the energy security of Bulgaria and Southeast Europe, including Moldova and Ukraine", Geoffrey Payat said, reported BGNES.
