ITN: If Maritsi is closed, Bulgaria may have to switch to electric mode in winter ᐉ News Fakti.bg – Bulgaria

If “Maritsa” is closed, the winter will have electric mode

“If “Maritsi” is closed, Bulgaria may have to switch to electric mode during the student winter months”, he warned the candidates for representatives of “Ima talik narod” Toshko Yordanov, Dragomir Petrov, Pavela Mitova, Stanislav Balabanov and Alexander Valchev.

They toured the Mariska Basin and spoke out against the eventual shutdown of coal-fired power generation by 2038 and the shutdown of the reactors. There is also a large photovoltaic park near Mariški lagoon.

“If we listen to GERB and PP-DB, these are jobs here. How many miners and energy workers do you see working here?” asked Toshko Yordanov. “I see about 30,000, but they have hidden,” answered Alexander Valchev with a joke, looking around the desert plain, reporting “24 Chasa”.

Pavela Mitova recalled that their parliamentary group also fought for this on the last working day of the 50th National Assembly before the election campaign holidays. “We have been fighting for this for the last two years, because this is not something that happened today or yesterday, but it is a very long plan of the PP, GERB and DPS to close the whole Marishki plant, stop working, that we will be a net importer of electricity, 30 thousand people and their families will lose their jobs, and every Bulgarian citizen will feel the impact of this in the accounts they have electricity,” explained Mitova.

According to the plans of the Ministry of Energy, the transformation of coal plants should be carried out smoothly, therefore, at the same time, the amount of coal necessary for the operation of the plants will be produced and the yards will be restored to prepare them for the future. economic activity, which will be led by a new company.

“The new recall company that is going to be created will have a union board of directors, that is, the heads of the union will go on fantastic salaries like the heads of an energy company, and no one cares what to do the workers after that,” he explained. Mitova. She pointed out another problem – that no one says what will happen to the land after repossession. “She will go to this company, and what will happen to her will be decision by the leaders of the union,” Mitova also said.

“These are the balancing capabilities, and we lose another balancing capability with the closure of the tess. This means that these photocells cannot produce energy when there is no sun or when there is snow, ” explained Mitova, and Valchev said: “The supply Panels “maintain a constant frequency, which is important not only for our transmission system, but also for the Balkans in general”.

“If they close, many people and experts say that we will probably be in power mode during the worst winter months, because there is no place to maintain the level of our electricity network,” Balabanov said.

Currently, Chaira PAVEC is not working, the sixth unit of the Kozloduy NPP is in continuous unregistered repairs. And about 30% of the energy produced in Bulgaria is produced in the Mariska basin. The carbon footprint is 0.02% of European emissions.

ITNs are also against decentralization of the electricity market, as it would increase electricity bills 3-4 times higher.
