The planned annual maintenance of TPP AES Galabovo's Unit 2 will start on September 11 and is expected to last until September 28, AES Bulgaria said in a statement.

In 1999, a unit of U.S.-based energy conglomerate AES Corporation purchased the majority interest in the Maritsa East 1 project, subsequently renamed AES Galabovo in 2009. The company completed the full acquisition of the 600 MW thermal power plant from Ireland's Consolidated Continental Commerce Limited (3C) in 2005.
