November 10 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's sole nuclear power plant (NPP) Kozloduy booked a net profit of 1.37 billion levs ($696.9 million/700.5 million euro) in the first nine months of 2022, surging from 717.5 million levs a year earlier, parent company Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH) said.
NPP Kozloduy's revenue from electricity sales jumped to 5.06 billion levs in the January-September period from 1.57 billion levs a year earlier, Kozloduy NPP said in an interim financial statement published on the BEH website.
Kozloduy’s total assets increased to 4.72 billion levs at the end of September from 4.07 billion levs at the end of 2021, according to the financial statement.
NPP Kozloduy operates two units of 1,000 MW each, which receive fresh nuclear fuel from Russian company TVEL.
Bulgaria's parliament decided on Wednesday to mandate the caretaker government to initiate a process for licensing of alternative deliveries of nuclear fuel for the Kozloduy power plant in a bid to eliminate dependence on Russian supplies.
