[에너지신문] 14 December 2015 - Bulgaria has started test trading at its new day-ahead power exchange, launched by state-owned Independent Bulgarian Energy Exchange (IBEX) and Nord Pool Spot, and that will become operational in mid-January 2016.
Bulgaria has committed to ensure that state-owned power generation companies would provide electricity for sale on the power exchange for the next five years, to settle EU antitrust charges and to comply with EU liberalisation rules. Bulgaria is also collaborating with the European Commission and the World Bank to set up a progressive liberalisation in energy prices for small businesses and households (58% of the electricity sales are done at regulated prices) while protecting vulnerable consumers.
