Bulgaria’s Kozloduy nuclear power plant plans to boost the capacity of its fifth and sixth units to 104%. The facility’s executive head Mr Alexander Nikolov said that would mean that the capacity of each reactor would reach 1100 MW. When working at 100% capacity, each of the two units currently generates 1040 MW of power but following the upgrade they will produce 60 MW more. The investment will cost below BGL 1 million per MW, or a total BGL 120 million, which is significantly less than building a new 60 MW plant.
The plant management expects to complete the capacity upgrade by the end of 2013 (unit 6) and 2014 (unit 5), respectively.
