Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borissov reinstated Krassimir Parvanov as the head of National Electricity Co. a day after he was fired by Energy Minister Traicho Traikov for signing an agreement with Rosatom Corp.
Bulgaria’s main electricity utility and Russia’s state-owned Rosatom Corp. have been in talks over the past week on extending an accord to build a 2,000 megawatt nuclear plant on the Danube and to conduct additional safety checks after an earthquake off Japan caused an explosion at the Fukushima plant and raised the potential for a reactor meltdown.
