Electricity Prices in Bulgaria Likely to Drop by 1-2% from July 2013

what an utter bonehead.

expenses for wind and solar energy are 90% an upfront cost (running costs are minimal compared to the construction).

costs and income are planned over a full 20 year period, with most investors not being interested unless ROI is around 7 years or less - maybe 10 years maximum. otherwise it would be far more sensible to simply chuck the money in a bank account paying 5 or 6% interest and be able to invest it in something else more profitable.

therefore you don't have 20 years to "wait for your profit".

this is what happens when they put a bonehead with no clue of very very basic business concept in charge of something which could attract some reasonable levels of investment to Bulgaria if managed right.

No investor - either foreign or local is going to invest in something which gives a worse return than a 5 or 10 year government bond, and is more risky. Whatever you're attracting investment for, i'm afraid these "filthy foreign leeches" aren't going to put their money into the country unless they get something back. only the EU do that - maybe that's why the government are so intent on "absorbing EU funds" rather than constructing some kind of conscious plan on how to attract sensible and motivated foreign investors.
