Bulgaria cuts Kozloduy nuclear output as Danube falls
Bulgaria’s Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant will cut about 120 MW from one of its two 1,000 MW units starting amid unprecedented Danube water-level declines, marking the first capacity reduction in the plant’s 52-year history. The move follows regional cuts in Romania and Hungary as the Danube drought tightens cooling water supplies, with Kozloduy supplying more than a third of Bulgaria’s electricity.
