Locally-owned Eco Energy Windpower has applied for a 25-year power producer licence at the state energy commission, the regulator said on its website. The company intends to build a 150 MW wind power park near the northern city of Dobrich. The first stage of the project, for which the company has applied, comprises the installation of 21 wind power generators with a 2.5 MW capacity each until October 2011. The overall project is to be completed by November 2012. Eco Energy Windpower has signed a contract with the state power grid operator NEC to link the installation to the national electricity system. The investment value has not been unveiled but the company has said it intended to use own resources and a bank loan.
