For the benefit of energy
The company manages the entire process from feasibility studies and engineering planning to the future construction and commissioning of the new nuclear units.
In our activities, we are guided by the highest international standards for nuclear safety, quality and transparency, working for the successful implementation of the project for the benefit of the Bulgarian energy sector, economy and society.
Current events and news
To the newsThe socio-economic benefits of the project
NEW BOOST FOR THE BULGARIAN ECONOMY

Contribution to Bulgaria's GDP during construction
7 000-8 000
Direct jobs (in peak construction phase)
Over 30% share
Bulgarian companies in the construction of the project
€55 billion.
Effect on Bulgaria's GDP during operation

Annual carbon emissions saved from one unit
1 nuclear power plant = millions of households
A nuclear power plant with a capacity of about 1,000 MW can provide electricity for over 2 million households, with constant and predictable operation, regardless of weather conditions.
Above 90% usability factor
Nuclear power plants operate with one of the highest utilization rates in the energy industry – over 90% per year, which means almost continuous electricity production.
Almost zero CO₂ emissions in production
Nuclear power generation does not emit carbon dioxide during operation, making it among the lowest-emission energy sources.
Designed for decades to come
Modern nuclear power plants are designed for operation for 60 years or more, with the possibility of extension provided that all safety requirements are met.
Safety through independent systems
Nuclear facilities rely on a multi-level safety system, including independent active and passive protective mechanisms designed to prevent and limit any deviations.
One of the most regulated industries in the world
Nuclear energy is subject to strict national and international control, including constant monitoring, inspections, and licensing regimes.
The future of nuclear energy
AP1000® - pressurized water reactor
The construction of new 7th and 8th power units at the Kozloduy site is a priority for the national energy sector and the economic development of Bulgaria.
Proven technology
The AP1000 technology features completely passive safety systems that use natural forces such as gravity, pressure and natural circulation to naturally maintain reactor cooling, even in emergency situations, without human intervention.
