Construction of Substations at the Seaside
Within two years the National Electric Company (NEC) will construct several new substations along the Black Sea coast with a view to improving electricity supply in the area. The statement was made on June 15 by NEC executive director Mardik Papazyan in the sideline of the Energy Forum 2006 international conference in Varna (on the Black Sea). NEC had adopted a programme for accelerated construction of substations for about 30 million euro in 2006 and 2007, Papazyan said. The programme provides for reconstruction of the existing substation at Zlatni Pyasutsi (Golden Sands) resort, construction of new substations at Slunchev Bryag (Sunny Beach), Obzor and Sozopol, as well as at the mountain resort of Pamporovo (in the Rhodopes). Bulgaria has seven electricity distribution companies, which have been private since 2004. The substations will be constructed within two years, with reconstruction at Golden Sands expected to end by the spring of 2007. The price of a good substation is about four to five million euro, Papazyan said.
