Energy experts, business representatives and institutions came together around this key conclusion during the Fifth International Nuclear Conference organized by the Bulgarian Energy and Mining Forum.

During the forum, the participants firmly confirmed that the construction of new base power plants is critical for the sustainable energy transition. In this context, the project for the 7th and 8th blocks at the Kozloduy NPP site is of strategic importance for Bulgaria and the region. It was emphasized that its implementation will have a long-term positive effect not only on the energy sector, but also on the development of the entire industry, ensuring energy security and stability for both Bulgaria and the entire region.

Mr. Peter Bakjerzhiev, Deputy Director of the Engineering Directorate at Kozloduy NPP – New Capacity, participated in the conference program. He presented a detailed overview of the progress of the construction of the new nuclear power plants to leading international and local specialists.

In his presentation, Mr. Bakjerzhiev emphasized the current status of the project and traced the key milestones achieved so far.
