Short Company profile

 

Water utility Yovkovtsi, which operates the waste water treatment facility in Bulgaria’s northern municipalities of Gorna Oryahovitsa and Lyaskovets, has developed two co-generation units, each rated at 142 KW. The energy watchdog, the State Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (SEWRC), has already considered the company’s application to determine the tariffs at which it will supply electricity to E.ON Bulgaria, the local unit of the German mega-utility. It should come up with a decision at its Monday session. The two facilities now run at 50% of their nameplate capacity. The company’s chief energy expert, Danail Tsvetanov, said that they need 50 cubic metres of gas per hour to operate at 75% of their capacity, adding that the co-generation cost is factored in the proposed prices. The company uses the produced thermal energy to meet its own needs. Last year the local governments of Gorna Oryahovitsa and Lyaskovets transferred the management of the treatment plant to the water utility for a three-year period. The power produced from co-generated capacities comes with higher prices, which is based on 80% of the average selling price for power distributors. Yovkovtsi has request a tariff of BGN 132 per MWh. For comparison, power from small-scale hydropower plants of up to 10 MW is priced BGN 105 and wind power between BGN 172 and BGN 189. Solar power has the biggest price tag of BGN 755 to BGN 823 per MWh.
