Varna Power Plant
The plant was constructed at that location because it works with anthracite coal imported mainly from Ukraine. There is a coal port built nearby with room for three ships - two for ships up to 12,000 t and one for ships up to 55,000 t.
The plant has 6 turbines with installed power of 210 MW which makes a total of 1,260 MW. It has two chimneys, each with a height of 150 metres. Varna TPP is the second largest coal power plant in the Balkan peninsula after Maritsa Iztok 2 which is also situated in Bulgaria. In 2006, it produced 3 billion kWh electricity. Varna TPP has 900 employees. The income from the sold electrical energy is worth of 173,000,000 BGN or approximately €80,000,000.
Two turbines working with gas with installed power of 440 MW each are planned to be constructed by 2012 as a part of the company's strategy to reduce pollution.
