October 13, 2021

TPP AES Galabovo is completely ready for operations in the upcoming winter season. The newest and most modern coal-fired power plant in Bulgaria has 430 000 tons of lignite coal in stock which is over 150% of the required reserve. This available amount of coal can guarantee the normal operations of the power plant at full load of the capacities for more than 3 weeks.

Also, TPP AES Galabovo has in stock the required quantities of liquid fuel and limestone needed for the desulphurization process. The annual scheduled and preventive maintenance campaign of Unit 2 of the TPP has been successfully completed, and in early October both units are in full commercial exploitation. The scheduled maintenance of Unit 1 is expected to start in early November.

For the first nine months of 2021, TPP AES Galabovo generated for the Bulgarian customers around 2 320 000 MWh of reliable energy which is 8% of the energy consumed in the country for this period. This once again demonstrates the essential role of TPP AES Galabovo for the Bulgarian energy system.
