1. Pentru o mai corecta informare, NU EXISTA O DIRECTIVA EUROPEANA CARE SA IMPUNA INCHIDEREA A 60% DIN CENTRALELE NUCLEARE DIN UNIUNEA EUROPEANA PANA IN 2012, vis-à-vis de “European directives, 60% of the European nuclear plants, which are the biggest energy producers at the moment, have to be shut down by 2012”. Daca cineva are alta informatie rog sa o faca publica!

  2. Aceasta informatie este stupefianta “Apart from Bulgaria, Romania is also ready to join initiatives for a joint construction of nuclear power plants. The plan of the Romanians envisages the construction of four new units and modernization of Kozlodui NPP. Besides, Romania plans to export energy to China.”, mai ales exportul de electricitate in China! Aici nici nu mai comentez.

 

Nu am elemente de a comenta toate informatiile din stirea publicata, este posibil ca presedintele Parvanov sa faca demersurile aratate, pozitia Greciei ca si a Austriei este total anti-nucleare, dar este sufficient a gasi 2-3 inadvertente crase care sa puna toata stirea sub semnul incertitudinii!

Invitation about NPP Belene

Magdalena Mihajloska

Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov has called on his counterparts from Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, Greece and Turkey to build together the nuclear power plant Belene. Experts hail the idea and believe that the future of the energy sector depends on joint investments in new energy sources.
European media comment that the construction of NPP Belene will give many priorities of Bulgaria to the EU member states.
According to the European directives, 60% of the European nuclear plants, which are the biggest energy producers at the moment, have to be shut down by 2012.

Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov has invited Macedonia, Serbia, Greece and Turkey to invest together in the construction of NPP Belene. Parvanov believes that the participation of the countries from the region in the construction of the new plant is very important, because they will be able to get cheap electricity. Parvanov believes that the countries from the region would benefit from financing such a joint project. On the other hand, part of the funds will be provided by foreign funds, mostly European ones, owing to the regional character of the project. The Bulgarian Head of State said he had held talks about his initiative with a few presidents from the region.

The office of Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski announced that he is not acquainted with the proposal of the Bulgarian President and that he had not mentioned it during previous talks.

Greece is Against the Construction of the Nuclear Power Plant

The Balkan countries are reserved in relation to the proposal of Parvanov for a joint construction of a nuclear plant. Greece was the only one to express its indignation. Bulgaria’s southern neighbor thinks that the joint investments in the plant mean a new Chernobyl disaster on the Balkans. Greek energy experts are concerned over the fact that similar initiatives are more and more common.
Other energy experts believe that the initiative of the Bulgarian President is to a great extent justifiable in an economic and strategic aspect, especially if the start of the liberalization of the regional energy market next year is taken into account. The joint project will not only provide cheap energy in the region, but also an energy stability. Besides, the Balkan countries will have a great advantage on the European markets because the electricity produced in Belene will be much cheaper than the electricity produced in Europe. If the cheap work force on the Balkans and the possibilities for implementing new technologies are taken into account as well, the joint investment in the new nuclear power plant can really be a redeemable investment, according to experts.
The great interest of European energy giants in Belene NPP confirms the fact that the investment is redeemable. These giants have already expressed their readiness to invest in the plant. Italian ENEl Company announced that it would invest in Belene. ENEL is already operating on the Bulgarian market after buying Maritsa Iztok 3 Thermal-electric Power Plant.
The western European energy companies have been object of criticism by society for a long time now in connection with nuclear energy. Because of that, they are more and more interested in investing in the construction of new nuclear power plants outside the borders of the EU. Experts say that the interest of the West European countries is logical because they have to reduce the shock they would suffer after shutting down the nuclear plants in Europe.
60% of the nuclear plants in the European countries have to be closed by 2012, according to the EU directives. Just in Germany, 19 nuclear plants have to be closed by 2012.

Romanians Approve of Joint Projects for Construction of Nuclear Power Plants

Apart from Bulgaria, Romania is also ready to join initiatives for a joint construction of nuclear power plants. The plan of the Romanians envisages the construction of four new units and modernization of Kozlodui NPP. Besides, Romania plans to export energy to China.
Joint investments will be a future priority in the energy sector. Kosovo authorities envisage joint investments with Macedonia in the construction of thermal-electric power plants in Kosovo. The leadership of the Macedonian Electric Company (MEC) has been informed of this initiative. According to the initial plan, MEC will contribute to the construction by means of experts and money. The Macedonian energy system will profit a lot from the initiative if it is realized, because the energy produced in Kosovo can be very easily transported to Macedonia. Experts say Kosovo has many coal resources, which have not been exhausted yet. There are about 2% of the world coal reserves in Kosovo.

Cooperation has to be Strictly Regulated

Investments in power plants in other countries are a possibility for the development of the Macedonian energy system, according to experts. Macedonia has to start planning to invest capitals in nuclear plants in other countries, because it can get cheap electricity. Thus, Macedonia can solve the problem about the shortage of electricity, because of which the state has allotted a lot of money in the last years, especially to restarting big industrial plants.
This year MEC will pay about EUR 90 million for import of electricity. Besides, infrastructure for transporting electricity will be built next year. It will pass through Macedonia, Albania and will reach Italy, which will be connected with the Balkans by means of an underwater cable. The implementation of such projects is very important for the liberalization of the energy market as well. In this way, the Macedonian energy companies will be able to provide the regional market with the surplus of electricity. As a result, not only the energy system will become more stable, but also the Macedonian position on the future regional market, experts say.
Although the initiative for joint investments is considered to be a positive one, experts agree that all such projects have to be clearly regulated, because otherwise a number of undesired consequences might follow. Apart from the fact that nuclear plants are a great source of energy, they are significant for the regional safety. For example, all experts agree that a nuclear power plant can’t be constructed in Macedonia because the country doesn’t have any regulations on this issue. Besides, it does not have enough money to build such large objects. The storage of harmful nuclear waste is one of the most delicate issues. In fact, most of the funds allotted by the countries, which have nuclear plants, are used for that.

Foreigners are Interested Mostly in Macedonian Hydroelectric Power Plants

Electricity in Macedonia is produced mainly in hydroelectric power plants. The biggest producer of electricity is REK Bitola. It produces 70% of the electricity in the country. The hydroelectric power plants produce the other part of the energy. It is believed that most future investments will be made in small hydroelectric power plants. Foreign investors are already interested in this sector. Slovenia’s Turboinstitute won a concession deal for the construction of 20 hydroelectric plants. Riko Group, which is based in Ljubljana, is interested in building the hydroelectric plant St. Petka – Matka 2. Besides, Malaysian company Hisniaga is already negotiating for getting a license for the construction of hydroelectric plant Boshkov Most and some other small plants on the Radika River. A few years ago the Czech company Hydropol became a concessionaire of seven small hydroelectric power plants. Foreign investors are interested in this sector because of the small expenses and quick returns of capital, according to experts.
