Bulgaria’s Minister of Energy Zhecho Stankov is on a working visit to the USA to participate in the Sixth Delphi Forum in Washington DC. His schedule includes participation in a high-level discussion on the new map of energy diplomacy, as well as a meeting with the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey Pyatt and participation in a roundtable with representatives of American businesses. Negotiations are also planned with the management of the American company Westinghouse and the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Exim Bank) regarding the construction of units 7 and 8 at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant.

A few days ago, Minister Stankov announced that the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant could be the most suitable location for the development of artificial intelligence and data centers in Bulgaria, considering the security of energy supply. "For this reason, we will start a roadshow for companies to ensure that data centers can be built on Bulgarian territory", Minister Stankov said.
