Bulgaria's proposed moratorium on renewable energy projects
Bulgaria's Environment Minister Nona Karadjova has suggested that the South-Eastern European country may initiate a six-month moratorium on renewable energy products which are only in early their earliest phases.
He said: “We have had problems with the large number of wind power generators and solar power installations, not only because of the practice for them to be installed in protected areas, but also because of the large number of requests for expropriation of agricultural land.”
The reasons for the possible suspensions of these renewable energy projects in South-Eastern Europe seem to be resulting from breaches of regulations. The European Commission for the Construction of Wind Farms protected areas, known as the Natura 200. Apparently wind farm projects which have commenced for near Cape Kaliakra infringed the procedures by failing to carry out the required environmental assessments. The Agriculture Minister confirmed that he had increasingly been receiving requests for changes to land allocations with regards to renewable energy projects.
If the moratorium goes ahead, it is predicted to continue until the green energy development plan is finalised. The draft is expected to by approved by the European Commission by the middle of next year. The development plan will contain detailed evaluations of renwable energy capacity in across particular regions as well as the devlopment of electricity distribution companies, NEK power grids and environmental assessments.
This news has been met with concern in South-Easter Europe bu the Confederation of Employers and Industrialists in Bulgaria. They issued a statement which read: "Given that a significant percentage of member firms of CEIBG express their interest in the development of renewable energy sources, we fear that the envisaged moratorium will reflect in a negative way on their business."
