“Instead of focusing on an exact date for the closure of coal-fired power stations, Bulgaria will propose, in its Recovery and Resilience Plan, that they function only at times of highest consumption in winter”, Deputy Prime Minister of Climate Policies and Minister of Environment and Water Borislav Sandov announced, explaining that this only concerns the state-owned TPP which can use this resource in periods of exceptional need. In his words, the country’s commitment to the European Commission will also concern reduction of harmful emissions which will be set down in the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
