We are helping North Macedonia and Serbia because of the breakdowns in their energy systems, Bulgaria’s Minister of Energy Zhecho Stankov announced at an emergency briefing following widespread power outages in the Balkans.
“In the early hours of Sunday, the system faced major challenges, with high voltage levels caused by low consumption and large amounts of reactive energy”, Minister Stankov explained. “Bulgaria has 90% of its compensating capacity available and we managed to control all processes so that we could also assist our neighbouring countries'', Zhecho Stankov explained. “We will supply electricity to North Macedonia. We will not allow what happened in Spain and Portugal to happen in our region'', Minister Stankov said.
Croatia is also experiencing problems with its power transmission system due to a lack of compensating capacity to reduce electricity production, BGNES reports.
