At the time being Finnish energy company Fortum is only committed to 1% of the project company for Bulgarian Belene NPP, Fortum Executive Vice President Anne Brunila told Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency).
The contract for creating a Belene project company was sealed Tuesday evening by the Bulgarian National Electric Company (NEK), Russian Rosatom, Finnish Fortum, and French Altran Technologies.
Bulgarian media had published information that Fortum is considering the opportunity to up it share to 25%.
Speaking to this site, Fortum VP Brunila stated that the memorandum concluded in Sofia Tuesday evening is for a 1% participation in Belene, and for the time being Fortum is not considering upping it share.
