The main priorities of the Bulgarian energy sector are currently guaranteeing energy security, liberalizing the gas and energy markets, extending the life of Units 5 and 6 of Kozloduy NPP and finding a solution for the project for a second nuclear power plant in Belene. This is what Bulgarian Minister of Energy Temenuzhka Petkova has said. In 2014, the energy sector was in a state of collapse, but thanks to the measures taken by parliament, including legislative ones, it is now stable. We now have to build on what has been achieved during the second cabinet pf PM Boyko Borissov, Minister Petkova said and added that the energy sector needed sustainability and predictability.
