Government relies on incentives to buy electric cars in the recovery plan
The Bulgarian government will offer incentives to promote the use of renewable energy and electric cars in the provision of social services. This was announced by the European Commission, announcing that it has received successive adjustments from Sofia to the Recovery and Sustainability Plan in which the measures are set.
They are related to the refusal of some investments and reforms laid down in the plan that the Rosen Zhelyazkov government believes that they will not be implemented in its term – the end of 2026, as well as an additional chapter related to energy independence – Repowereu.
Last week, Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev announced that proposals for changes to the recovery plan were sent to Brussels, but did not give details of their content.
Governors delay the liberalization of the current for everyday
On Tuesday, the committee announced that the Repowereu head is introducing three new reforms and four investments (three new and one extended).
The proposed reforms are intended to strengthen the framework for the management of energy poverty and prepare for liberalization of the retail market, increase the transparency of the procedures for connecting new renewable facilities and capacity for storage, improving the functioning of the balancing energy market and facilitating the implementation of response.
The four proposed projects to be included in the plan are the development of an information system for identifying energy poor and vulnerable households, promoting the use of renewable energy and electrical vehicles in the provision of social services and the implementation of additional electricity storage by increasing the scale of an existing investment.
Bulgaria also proposes to eliminate or modify several measures in the plan, redistributing the funds pledged in it, so as to maintain its total value of EUR 5.69 billion for grants from the European budget.
The Commission does not specify them, but cites the Bulgarian argument for the changes – that they will not be able to be fulfilled within the terms initially provided for.
As some of the changes concern unsettled issues of the second payment request, on April 17, Bulgaria requested, in accordance with the Commission, withdrawing the request for payment with a view to its re -submission after approval of the amended plan, the Commission said without details.
– Private Bankruptcy Act
– criteria for Election of members of the Anti -Corruption Commission
– Changes to The Law on Filers of Irregularities
– Road card for the energy in which it is embedded Coal Energy Refusing to 2038
In November 2024, the European Commission warned that unfulfilled conditions were related to a « significant loss » of money on the second payment.
« Significant Loss »: The European Commission has decided to stop the money for the uninvited recovery plan
And in February, Deputy Prime Minister Donchev first stated that the money would be completely lost, and then that the government would try to save them by proposing changes to the plan.
The ruling prank the recovery plan and started working under the Personal Bankruptcy Act
« The Commission will now continue to work with the Bulgarian authorities on the review of the plan and evaluate whether the modified plan continues to meet the criteria of the Mechanism for Recovery and Sustainability, » Brussels said.
If the evaluation is positive, the Commission will make a proposal for a modified implementation decision, which must also be approved by the Member States.
