The power plants in Maritsa coal basin will continue to operate at a capacity of 1,600 megawatts. Bulgaria does not plan to close thermal power plants, as announced by the caretaker government in line with the EU Green Deal and the National Recovery and Sustainability Plan, Deputy Prime Minister Assen Vassilev said in parliament.
Vassilev admitted that Bulgaria would not be able to contract 70% of the EU funding this year. 2.5-3 billion euros will be negotiated instead of the expected 4.5 billion euros.
