Electricity System Operator

Production and consumption of electricity for the period of 1 January to 30 July 2017, compared to the same period last year, has increased. This is the data of the Electricity System Operator (ESO), informs the BNT.

Bulgaria will halt the exports of electricity as of 01:00 (EET) on Friday, the Energy Ministry says.

Authorities have cited severe weather conditions boosting electricity consumption across the country.

Exports are therefore halted until the energy system is brought back to a balance, the ministry says.

As many as 117 towns and villages have been left cut off from the power supplies due to severe weather conditions in Eastern Bulgaria, the outgoing Energy Minister has said.

Nearly 22 900 customers of elecrtricity distrubition companies are now affected by the blackouts, Temenuzhka Petkova has said in the crisis team's daily briefing.

CEZ Electro Bulgaria AD reported a loss of nearly BGN 6.6 M, while CEZ Distribution AD registered a loss of around BGN 5 M in H1, 2014, according to a media statement of the company.
