Enel renames Maritsa East 3 power companies

The Italian multi-utility Enel renamed the two companies operating the coal-fired power plant Maritza East 3. The two renamed companies will be using Enel Group from now on. The main power production entity will be registered as Enel Maritsa East 3, while Maritsa East III Exploitation Company will be re-named to Enel Operations Bulgaria. Enel owns 73% of the companies after the last year’s buy-out of the stake of US energy company Entergy in the project for refurbishing of the power company. The remaining 27% share is in possession of the Bulgaria ’s National Electricity Company.
