Bulgaria expects to take a final investment decision in the second half of 2026 for the planned expansion of the Kozloduy nuclear power station, according to Alex Nestor, chairman of the board of Kozloduy NPP-New Build, the state-owned company in charge of the project.

Nestor told Bloomberg Bulgaria in a televised interview that developers are aiming to have at least 30% local content in the project to deploy two Westinghouse-made AP1000 pressurised water reactor units at the existing site.
