5 Companies Confirmed their Offers for Belene NPP
All 5 companies from the shortlist of approved strategic investors for Belene NPP have confirmed their offers.
The new Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Economy, Energy, and Tourism, has called for Bulgaria's second nuclear power plant project at Belene to be frozen.
Dimitrov, one of the leaders of the rightist Blue Coalition, and leader of the United Democratic Forces (UDF), stated Thursday that the state should not have to support the Belene NPP project and that instead they should find private investors.
According to Dimitrov the project will cost a lot of money and in this time of crisis could de-stabilize the country's economy.
Some EUR 430,5 M have been spent so far by the Bulgarian state in preparation for the construction of the country's second nuclear power plant at the Danube town of Belene.
The figure was made public on July 17 by the press service of the Ministry of Energy and Economy.
Of these, EUR 161 M have been spent for developing the technical project; EUR 78 M - for the clearing of the construction site; EUR 89,5 M for the purchase of long-term equipment; EUR 90 M have been spent for paying consultants - WorleyParsons, Deloitte, Paribas; and EUR 12 M - for paying off interest on a BNP Paribas loan.
