"Kozloduy NPP - New Build" participates in Powers Summit 2025
"Kozloduy NPP - New Build" EAD took part in the Powers Summit forum 2025 – an event that brought together representatives of institutions, political leaders and businesses for a discussion on the future of energy security and sustainability.
Within the framework of the panel "The Energy Shield: Building Resilience in Times of Uncertainty", the company's CEO Petyo Ivanov focused on the key prerequisites for the successful implementation of the project for new nuclear capacities - one of the largest industrial projects in Bulgaria.
During the discussion, it was emphasized that nuclear energy operates in a complex regulatory environment, which should be sufficiently flexible and adaptable to new technologies and requirements of the sector, without compromising safety. In this context, the need to further strengthen the expert capacity of regulatory authorities was highlighted.
The digitalization of administrative and project activities was identified as an essential element for accelerating processes. According to Petyo Ivanov, the transition to fully electronic preparation, signing and submission of project documentation would lead to optimization of deadlines and more efficient use of administrative resources.
The discussion also raised the issue of the need to secure a significant number of highly qualified specialists for the implementation of the project, as well as to create faster and clearer procedures for access to experts from third countries, which would help to meet the implementation schedule.
It was also noted that the project receives institutional support, including through adopted legislative changes that designate nuclear power plants and their construction sites as sites of national importance.
The Powers Summit forum is establishing itself as a platform for strategic dialogue on key topics related to the development of the energy sector and the sustainability of the economy.
