PM: We launch a procedure for construction of a new nuclear capacity at Kozloduy NPP

We have launched a procedure to search for an opportunity to build a new nuclear power plant on site No. 2 at Kozloduy NPP, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said on his official Facebook profile on October 14.

As early as February this year, a decision was issued to assess the impact on the environment. We continue the operation of the available capacities in our country, and the realisation of new nuclear capacities will be of strategic importance for preserving the energy security of the country.

We are reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing dependence on energy imports in an optimal and competitive way, in the context of the EU's goal of climate neutrality by 2050 and the priorities of the European green deal, the prime minister added.
