Electricity prices for businesses in Bulgaria are at record highs
Published
Electricity prices for businesses in Bulgaria have exceeded 300 euros per megawatt-hour. By comparison, in the Scandinavian countries the price is around 10 euros for the same unit. The large difference between the countries shows how varied the conditions of energy markets in Europe are.
According to the portal Economic.bg, even the TPP "Maritsa East 2" is operating at almost full capacity, but this is not enough to reduce prices. The power plant is one of the most important electricity producers in the country. Despite its operation, supply does not cover market demand.
High prices are a serious challenge for Bulgarian companies, especially those that use a lot of energy in their production. They can affect companies' costs and, ultimately, the prices of goods and services. It remains to be seen what measures the institutions will take to improve the situation.
