The future of the “Maritsa-East” complex will be discussed by Energy Minister Vladimir Malinov, together with the mayors in Stara Zagora, as well as representatives of the trade unions, NOVA reported.
According to the Recovery and Sustainability Plan, our country has made a commitment to reduce harmful emissions by 2030, which is associated with the closure of coal-fired power plants.
According to various estimates, the number of workers at the Stara Zagora power plant is over 10,000. For years, there has been discussion about what is needed so that they can be redirected to other activities so that they do not lose their jobs. According to the acting Finance Minister, the Capacity Reduction Plan needs to go hand in hand with a clear strategy for the future of workers.
