The renewable energy
sources include the solar, wind, water and geothermal energy, as well as energy
from biomass (including biogas), and energy from industrial and domestic waste.
The production of energy from renewable energy sources is supported by both the
Bulgarian and European legislation. You can rely on guaranteed buy up of
electricity and preferential prices when you operate a renewable energy
project. The different types of renewable energy sources require specialized
preparation and resources.
Bulgaria plans to produce 10 per cent
of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2010 and increase this to
16 per cent by 2020.
In 2008, the figure was seven per cent.
Of this seven per cent, four comes from wind farms, and the rest is from hydro power plants. Meanwhile, as of 2008, only 36 per cent of the hydro potential of Bulgaria was being used, with 26 power stations producing more than10 MW each, Stroitelstvo Gradut said.
A new hydro power plant, Tsankov Kamak, on the Vacha River is currently being built. Moreover, the National Electric Company has started a revamp of the third HPP, the Dolna Arda hydro-electric plant. The overhaul will encompass all auxiliary facilities and it is scheduled for completion by 2010, and it will have a total production capacity of 331 MW.
The potential construction of two new hydro power projects on the Danube are also being contemplated – one between Nikopol and Turnu Mugurele, and the other between Silistra and Kalarash. It is not a new idea to put hydro plants there, but it is finally due to be considered seriously this summer.
According to 2002 estimates, the cost to build the facilities on the Danube river will be about 4.2 billion euro, which will include the complexes and related road and rail infrastructure.
The European Investment Bank reportedly has indicated that it is giving the projects serious consideration because the river is important for Trans-European Corridor 7, passing through Bulgaria and Romania.
The National Electric Company (NEC) and Austrian consortium EVN Alpine are to sign an agreement at the end of May on the Gorda Arda hydro power plant complex. Additionally, an agreement with Turkey's Ceylan Holding has already been secured. Three new dams have been approved for construction – Madan, Ardino and Sarnitsa producing a total capacity of 178 MW.
