Electricity produced by the Kozloduy nuclear power plant (NPP) until December 27 2007, amounted to 14.444 billion KWh. By the end of 2007, it was expected to reach 14.642 billion KWh, head of production at Kozloduy NPP, Alexander Nikolov said.

The 2007 production was about 2 billion KWh more than that of 2006, mostly due to the shortened repair work time-frames and a modernisation programme, Nikolov said.

“The plans are that we reach production of about 15 billion kwh. I cannot guarantee this will happen in 2008, but maybe in 2009 we will reach this,” Nikolov was quoted by Focus news agency as saying.
