Russian Energy Minister, Sergei Shmatko, has revealed that Russia and Bulgaria have agreed to start the construction of the Belene nuclear power plant in Spring 2010.
Shmatko, cited by Russian news agency ITAR-TASS, also said that Bulgaria would be presenting a model of financing its share of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis after the current environmental impact assessment.
On Friday it was revealed that Russia is going to grant Bulgaria a loan for the construction of the Belene NPP, after Bulgaria’s Minister of Economy, Energy, and Tourism, Traicho Traikov, met with Shmatko and the CEO of the Russian state company Rosatom in Sofia over the Bulgarian request for a EUR 2 B loan from Rosatom for the construction of the Plant.
Earlier, on Wednesday, the Bulgarian government confirmed its position that it cannot make a final decision on whether the country would go ahead with the Russian sponsored Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline until there is an environmental assessment ready.
