The French Framatome will endeavour to secure financing for a quarter of the technical units of Belene Nuclear Power Plant. We are ready to take part with the volume of activities set down in 2012 when the project was halted, and will, respectively, ensure the political support, said Framatome representative Stanislav Georgiev after a meeting at the energy ministry.

The French company was main subcontractor to the Russian Atomstroyexport, then selected to build Belene NPP. Framatome will respond to the invitation to tender for a new strategic investor though it is not yet clear in what form, Stanislav Georgiev said.
