More than 50 Bulgarian companies participated in the Symposium for Westinghouse suppliers for the construction project of the seventh unit of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant with AP1000® (Advanced Passive Reactor) technology. The event took place on February 20th and 21st, 2024, at the Hilton Sofia Hotel, in partnership with the American Chamber of Commerce in Bulgaria
The Symposium was opened by Rumen Radev – Minister of Energy, Delyan Dobrev – Chairman of the Energy Commission, National Assembly, Kenneth Merten – US Ambassador, Alex Nestor – Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant-New Builds and Ivan Mihaylov, CEO of AmCham. Senior managers from Westinghouse such as Sean Jones, Oscar Pratt, Ivan Pironkov, Tim Mediat, and Pierre Lepertier provided a detailed overview of the AP1000 technology, the company’s projects in operation in the USA and China, as well as the delivery process and requirements for achieving mutual success
The program continued today with meetings with Bulgarian companies from the energy sector, which could potentially be partners in the project’s future implementation. EnergoService is one of the five companies with which Westinghouse signed a Memorandum of Cooperation at the end of last year, and it is also on their approved suppliers list.
