The Japanese company Toshiba is teaming up with Tokyo Electric Power to invest in the construction of solar power plants in the USA and countries in Europe, including Bulgaria.
As an EU member state, Bulgaria needs quickly to bolster its sources of renewable energy to reduce CO2 emissions. The plant will be built in the eastern city of Yambol by March 2012 at a cost of about € 890 M, Japan’s Nikkei daily said.
CEZ Group, the seventh-ranked European power utility, will also take part in the joint venture, contributing as much as € 180 M, according to the report. The plant will start with an output capacity of approximately 50,000 kW. The capacity will gradually be increased to 250,000 kW in five years.
