Most of the large RES projects were implemented with bank financing and will start to fail. This will hit the banking system, and in order to compensate for these losses, it will “hit” consumers. And again, you and I will pay for the stupidity and greed of certain people who want to get rich from these things.
This was commented on in the Economic.bg podcast “One Mind” by Dr. Eng. Dimitar Beleliev, an energy expert with nearly 30 years of experience, chairman of the board of directors of the “Central Energy Repair Base” (CERB) and owner of “AmonRa Energy” – a certified center for the supply of products and provision of solutions for solar energy.
According to him, large solar projects are difficult to balance. He believes that RES should be developed, but not in the way it is currently being done in Bulgaria.
According to Beleliev, the solution is to zone investments in solar projects and place them where there is a need to consume the electricity from them.
“I can’t understand why photovoltaic power plants the size of cities are being built in a fertile Thracian lowland. There is nothing ecological here.”
For him, preparing an energy strategy for energy conservation is a huge factor that needs to be given more attention.
He supports phasing out coal as soon as possible, and, according to him, the country is ready for this in the next 3 to 5 years.
“We wasted 10-12 years waiting for some miracle. Miracles don’t happen.”
According to the expert, those responsible for the “negligence” surrounding the accident at the Chaira Nuclear Power Plant should be sought.
We hire a not-so-small Swiss company to do an analysis and tell us “metal fatigue” and say that there is no one to blame for it. How can there be no one to blame? Now a facility that is 20 years old, instead of working for another 100 years and becoming 120 years old, we have broken it and it seems like its time has come.”
According to him, however, no one is being held accountable and this is a lack of responsibility.
That’s why we are in this state as a society, because we don’t hold anyone accountable for their mistakes.”
CERB is precisely one of the three Bulgarian companies that participated in the construction and installation of the Chaira PVPP.
Why are Bulgarian companies not participating in the renovation of the Chaira PVPP, what should Bulgaria’s new energy strategy include, will electricity prices for household consumers increase after they enter the free market, and how “AmonRa Energy” is conquering the Romanian market, listen in the seventh episode of the podcast “One Mind”, hosted by Alexandra Sotirova-Delcheva.
