The rapid expansion of the resort over the past couple of years is overtaxing the infrastructure which needs to be modernised, Bourgas, Burgas
The board of directors of Slanchev Bryag AD, the state-owned company that manages the road, water and electricity infrastructure in the sea resort of the same name, has proposed to reinvest the proceeds from the sale of the resort’s electricity distribution utility in new infrastructure.
The proposal will have to be approved by the competent institutions.
The rapid expansion of the resort over the past couple of years is overtaxing the infrastructure which needs to be modernised, said Slanchev Bryag AD executive director Malina Bakalova.
A general meeting of the company’s shareholders has been called for October 27 to approve the sale of the power distributor for 42.510 mln levs excluding VAT.
The valuation of the power distributor was revised a month ago to reflect the increase in electricity consumption by the expanding resort.
The sale of the electricity utility has pitted the Bulgarian state, a 75% shareholder in Slanchev Bryag AD, against the main minority shareholder in the company, Slanchev Bryag Holding.
The contract that EVN signed in 2004 for the acquisition of the electricity distributor in Stara Zagora bound the Bulgarian state to sell the resort utility to the Austrians for 25 mln levs. However, Slanchev Bryag Holding dismissed the agreed sale price and insisted for a price tag of 79 mln levs.
