The official authority signed a contract for new nuclear capacities at the NPP site " Kozloduy". Signatures were placed under it by the Bulgarian side, as well as the American company "Westinghouse" and the South Korean "Hyundai". The contract with the two companies is for the construction of the 7th and 8th blocks at the headquarters. The theme in the studio of "Your Day" comments the energy expert Ivan Hinovski.
"This is the first real sub-project within this project. It gives an effective start to the studies to form the final price of the contract. He will determine the parameters of the engineering infrastructure, which will predetermine a large part of the total budget of the project. This is related to site construction, building structures, foundation slab, technical supply, electrical infrastructure, ie. electrical lines for the removal of energy under the stations. This is the first step in estimating and budgeting. "Once the elements for the nuclear part and related services are obtained, we should receive a binding offer for the cost of the project," the expert said.
He commented on Martin Vladimirov's words that the plant will not be loaded at full capacity. "This is a completely untenable thesis. It is little known that other countries around us are interested in this project and want to buy basic power. We can also make 10,000 megawatts of green energy," Hinovski said.
"I also want to develop green energy, but it is impermanent. There are periods, weeks at a time, where we won't have some productions from them. And what do we do during these periods? These days could be apocalyptic when hospitals, transport, schools freeze. This question cannot be answered by the greens", Hinovski also said.
