Bulgaria has longstanding experience in nuclear energy, and the implementation of the project for the construction of new nuclear capacities is of strategic importance not only for the country but also for the Southeastern European region, stated Zhecho Stankov, Bulgaria’s Minister of Energy.
He emphasized the importance of the effective participation of Bulgarian companies in the construction of the seventh and eighth units at the Kozloduy nuclear power plant site, highlighting that the implementation process will be based on quality, speed, and competitive pricing.
