The meeting was jointly organized by Za Zemiata, the Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD) and the Center for Energy Efficiency “ENEFECT”. Através das páginas do Facebook das três organizações.

The name of the event was: “Exiting the Vicious Circle: A Long-Term Vision for Bulgaria’s Decarbonization and Economic Transformation” with the idea to present the latest analysis of the Center for the study of democracy. They modeled the assumptions and numbers from the second NECP draft and the main message was that O rascunho não inclui o que é necessário para alcançar a neutralidade climática até 2050.

em sua apresentação (em Bulgarian) Radostina de Zemiata, a posição da posição de zemiata e GreenPeping em 21, na Bulgarian) e na versão do zemiata e na próxima posição do zemiata e o Greenpepeapea, no final da posição de zemiata e verde -4. Ela falou sobre o Necessidade e viabilidade de uma data de saída de carvão anterior (2030) e saída de gás fóssil (2035), permitindo a descarbonização completa do sistema de energia em 2035 - baseado em renováveis ​​(incluindo alvos de concreto em prosumers, comunidades energéticas e resmunções industriais) e sem necessidade de necessidade de novas nucleares Subsídios baseados em fósseis) é outro desafio, não realmente reconhecido pelos autores do plano, muito desafiador continua sendo a descarbonização do setor de transporte e abordando o transporte e a pobreza energética. A posição de Zemiata no rascunho. Mais tarde, em 26 de abril, o Phasing down energy (and fossil based) subsidies is another challenge, not really recognised by the authors of the plan, much challenging remains the decarbonisation of the transport sector and addressing transport and energy poverty.

In the second session, devoted to the energy efficiency potential, Svetoslav Stoykov, the Renovation of Buildings coordinator at Za Zemiata, moderated the discussion and again shared insights from the Za Zemiata’s position on the draft.

All the speakers united around the thesis that Bulgaria should also undertake ambitious measures to improve energy efficiency, to promote the change of citizens’ energy habits, to introduce mechanisms for effective management of energy consumption among households and businesses and democratization of electricity production as a process of inclusion of citizens in the energy system.

A day later, on the 26th April, the Recomendações do EC para o plano de rascunho búlgaro foi lançado, que repetiu nossa conclusão do 25º - o plano não é o que se refere a o que o país é um pouco para atingir o clima europeu. Análise suficiente, previsões, medidas.  It is not clear how the country will achieve its slightly above its minimally required goals for RES and energy efficiency, and there is overall a lack of sufficient analysis, forecasts, measures.

In the framework of the event, The Ministry of Energy announced that, despite the political instability, they intend to hold the public discussion planned in May about a possible third version of the plan, including a Scenario with additional measures.
