Bulgaria Ready with Back-Up Electricity for the Olympics

subscribe

Bulgaria's National Electricity Company (NEC) is ready to increase its power export to Greece to back up its electricity grid during the Olympic Games 2004, the state power utility announced recently.

Yet there is no official asking from Greece to Bulgaria to back-up its electricity supplies in the summer time.

Power supplies between the two countries are regulated with a bilateral agreement, which expires end 2004. It provides for an export of 320 mWh daily to Bulgaria's southern neighbor, which can be strengthened with another 100 mWh upon demand, Bulgaria's NEC stated.

A report of the Brussels-based Coordination of Electricity Transmission Union (CETU) released recently warned that Greece might have to resort to additional power imports to secure that capital Athens is not left in pitch dark during the Olympics. According to the data presented, Greece is the only CETU's member to face reduced power generation when demand peaks in the two summer months of the Olympic Games.

Besides to Greece, Bulgaria's state power utility sells off electricity to Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia and Kosovo.
