Definitional-mission report: Power-complex rehabilitation project in Bulgaria. Export trade information
The U.S. Trade and Development Program (TDP) contracted for a Definitional Mission to assess the potential of TDP funding a study that would assist in the improvement of the electrical generation system in Bulgaria. The contractor does not foresee a great role for the U.S. industry in the area of hydroelectric power development in Bulgaria. The assistance requested for a detailed study of energy conservation potential falls in the general area of energy audits, demand management studies, pricing reforms, etc. The U.S. AID typically funds such projects. The best prospect for TDP's involvement and the area of high priority within the government would be to embark upon a major program aimed at the overall rehabilitation and modernization of its thermal power sector. It is recommended that TDP provide a grant to Bulgaria to (1) ascertain what major projects and associated levels of investment are required in the short term and the long term to improve the Bulgarian electrical power system, (2) perform a feasibility study to rehabilitate sixteen existing 210 MW and four existing 150 MW Bulgarian Power Plants at four different Power Stations and (3) evaluate the need to repower or replace two 25 MW units at the Maritsa 3 Power Station in the Town of Dimitrovgrad and determine the most cost effective and environmentally sound technology for such repowering or replacement.
