China and Serbia are considering a joint participation in the project to build a second Nuclear Power Plant in Bulgaria’s Danube town of Belene, according to a Serbian minister.
The news was reported Monday by the Serbian radio B92, citing the Serbian Minister of Energy and Mining, Petar Skundric, who is on a visit to China.
Skundric had said after meeting the Chinese Deputy Commerce Minister, Gao Hucheng, that if the two countries reach a final agreement for the revitalization of blocks B1 and B2 of the Kostolac Thermoelectric Power Plant (TPP) this would create favorable conditions for joint participation in new energy projects.
Hucheng, on his part, had voiced deep satisfaction from the talks about “collaboration in the nuclear energy system of a third country.”
In the beginning of February, China and Serbia signed a preliminary contract on power station cooperation including the revitalization of the two existing blocks B1 and B2 of the Kostolac TPP, each of 350 MW capacities.
