"After the liberalization was postponed for one year at the proposal of the BSP, there is no a big reason why miners are unhappy. With this decision and with the preservation of NEK as a public supplier, KEVR is given the opportunity to include electricity produced by the "Mines" and from the thermal power plants".
This is what the energy expert Tasko Ermenkov commented in the studio of "The Day ON AIR".
In his words, they cannot be happy because they are not sustainable solutions: "If people want to have a dignified Bulgaria in a peaceful Europe, they should vote correctly.
Ermenkov explained that the non-market formed emission prices affect the market price of electricity.

"Without these emissions prices, the cost of coal plants will always be lower than it is now. So far why do we have no problems with American headquarters? The state had become the mother of these two plants and the stepmother of its own plant, despite recommendations to change the contracts. The Bulgarian state-owned "Maritsa East 2" loomed, where is the constitutional equality?", the expert also asked.
According to Ermenkov, those who managed the processes were late.
"GERB, with the considerable help of DPS, recently and with the active intervention of "We continue the change" and the right ones. The solution is to continue the activity of these "Maritsi", to look for options in the EU, the energy expert expressed his position to Bulgaria ON AIR.
In his words, it is possible to negotiate with Europe when the Bulgarian parliament comes up with a decision and becomes consolidated in terms of protecting the interests of Bulgarian citizens.
"If we are giving mixed messages in Europe, we must become absolutely liberalized. Europe will not listen to us," Ermenkov analyzed.
He also expressed concern regarding the contract with "Botash".
"We signed a contract in which we are not guaranteed the interests of Bulgaria, but of "Botash". The one who signed the contract is guilty. We can't take advantage because we don't need it right now. "Soon, the subject of the gas storage in Chiren will explode - its rehabilitation and what the consequences will be," the energy expert predicts.
The termination of the contract with "Botash" however, it will cost us dearly, Ermenkov also thinks.
