The implementation of Belene NPP project depends on the next political status quo which will be determined in Parliament, Bogomil Manchev, Chairman of the Bulgarian Atomic Forum BULATOM, told the Bulgarian National Radio. Bulgaria will need basic and clean energy. We always see people trying to explain that the project for second nuclear power plant should be viewed only through budget funds and electricity consumption. However, we believe that the project will operate on the free market and the state will seek opportunities to build the power plant together with a strategic investor. The existence of strategic investor means that the project for new nuclear power plant is economically viable, the energy expert says further.
