The forthcoming market union with Romania will not have a significant impact on electricity prices. This is what CEO of the Independent Bulgarian Energy Exchange Konstantin Konstantinov said. Speaking to the parliamentary committee, discussing the high electricity prices on the stock exchange, Konstantinov said: "The market union with Greece, as well as any other market union does not affect prices. Therefore, we should not expect any miracles from the market union with Romania ".

Answering criticism that this country exported its cheap energy and sold expensive electricity on the Bulgarian market, the executive director of the Bulgarian Energy Holding Valentin Nikolov replied: "We are satisfying a deficit in the region, not in Bulgaria. There is no deficit in Bulgaria. Things do not look bright in the region in terms of prices, unless new power plants are built."
