This is a market that functions differently. We have had many meetings with representatives of business and trade unions and they clearly know his position. This was said in the program “Face to Face” on BTV by the dismissed yesterday Deputy Minister of Energy Alexander Nikolov, who was nominated for Minister of Energy in the draft cabinet of “There are such people“There is such a people” is a political party in Bulgaria, created by the Bulgarian television“with a candidate for prime minister Plamen Nikolov
Plamen Nikolaev Nikolov was born on July 29, 1977 in Gorna Oryahovitsa, he is an entrepreneur by profession. Possess. On August 10, the Association of Bulgarian Employers’ Organizations demanded resignations in the energy sector due to high prices for the electricity business on the free market.
Nikolov commented on the crisis with the expensive industrial electricity, saying that there is no direct control in the current format. Operational new pressure can be applied, but it is extremely difficult. All mechanisms for influence are in the Bulgarian Energy Holding, Nikolov pointed out.
Asked why he was fired, he said: “I cannot give an answer to this question. Minister Zhivkov informed me after receiving the order. It does not need to turn into a drama, it is quite normal, in the powers of the prime minister. He can makes such decisions according to the vision it has. It’s not a problem. The only issue that matters is that the system works better. “
For me, the question is whether all possible efforts have been made to add value to the work. The idea is to work for the benefit of society, said Alexander Nikolov.
The sector can be managed much more efficiently so that business does not suffer. Businesses have very good arguments on how to make the sector work more efficiently. There are many indicators in many places where the work can be improved, Nikolov stressed.
According to him, he did not have an intervention tool to prevent the sharp rise in the price of industrial electricity.
Energy has a huge effect on the whole economy. Either “Maritsa East 2” does not have the necessary administrative capacity to make a normal model of capacity planning and inclusion, or they have deliberately reduced the quantities so that there is systematic risk, business pressure and political instability. Looking at how many things have become associated with expensive electricity, it is statistically likely that there is something beyond the rational. The question is always a game of zero. If they lose society and the state, someone else wins. Follow the path of money and who benefits from stress and chaos in the country. Keep track of which private interests win when electricity prices are very high. The huge loser is society, said the former deputy energy minister.
He clarified that the first invitation to participate in the second draft cabinet of “There are such people
“There is such a people” is a political party in Bulgaria, created by the Bulgarian television“It came from the party’s energy expert Ivan Hinovski. I accepted the invitation with the idea of continuing the policy of transparency and transformation in the sector,” Alexander Nikolov added.
