The Bulgarian ministry of economy has awarded Alpiq the title of “Investor of the year” for the Vetrocom wind park.
After Alpiq was issued the operational approval in November 2010 the company has put its first wind park in Bulgaria into commercial operation. After a construction period of about half a year and investments of around 80 million euro, the 20 wind turbines are now in operation near the city of Kazanlak, 200 kilometres east of the capital Sofia.
Alpiq has been prompted by the favourable wind conditions, the existing infrastructure and the grid connection to erect further wind turbines on the heights of Kazanlak. The Alpiq Board of Directors agreed to this on 16 December 2010. The construction will start in spring 2011.
