The Serbian energy
ministry said on Monday Bulgaria’s Corporate
Commercial Bank [BUL:6C9] is interested in
investing alongside partners in local thermal
power projects.
The Bulgarian investor is eyeing the projects for
the construction of the Stavalj and Despotovac
thermal power plants (TPPs) and for a new unit at
the Morava TPP, the ministry said in a statement
issued after energy minister Zorana Mihajlovic met
with the lender's supervisory board chairman
Tsvetan Vasilev in Belgrade to discuss potential
investments.
Vasilev was leading a delegation comprising
experts from the mining and energy industries.
The statement added that talks will be held in
parallel with all investors interested in the
Stavalj thermal energy and coal mining project,
which includes firms from the Czech Republic and
China.
Last week, the Serbian government adopted a
decision to set up a task force for the
implementation of the Stavalj project. The team
will explore the opportunities and the strategic
partnership options for the restructuring of the
Stavalj mine and the possible construction of a
300 megawatt TPP.
As of the end of 2013, Corporate Commercial Bank,
Corpbank, was the fourth largest among Bulgaria's
24 locally-registered lenders and branches of six
foreign-based banks.
