The presumed thermal resources in the regions of Pleven, Varna, Vratsa, Sofia, the Struma River Valley, Velingrad and along the Erma River make them suitable to boost the development of geothermal resources in Bulgaria for heating purposes, indicated an analysis by the World Bank (WB), which provides technical support to Bulgaria for the development of geothermal potential. The conclusions of the report were presented by Mariano Serrano, Senior Energy Specialist at the WB, during a public discussion on the topic at the Sofia Event Centre. The event was part of the Energy Summit programme and was jointly organized by the Ministry of Energy and the Embassy of the Netherlands in Bulgaria.
