North Macedonia is temporarily withdrawing from investment in Bulgaria's Belene nuclear power plant and focuses on the Greek gas plant in Alexandroupolis. This was what CEO of North Macedonia's state-owned electricity producer Elektrani, Vasko Kovacevski, told the energy forum in Skopje, BGNES reported.

He said that the Greek power plant had better chances of realization. "There have been several delays in the construction of Belene in Bulgaria. There are no prospect of this power plant starting operation, so we are focusing on other projects, in particular the combined gas plant in the industrial zone in Alexandroupolis, where we will have 25% ownership," Kovacevski added.
