Production in Bulgaria spend excessive amount of electricity

According to estimates of experts and business enterprises in Bulgaria for the production of a unit, used approximately 35% more energy compared with countries in the European Union. This negative indicator reducing the competitiveness of domestic producers nationally and internationally.
The reasons for excessive consumption of energy carriers are not held in proper planning of production processes, outdated technologies and use of equipment not meeting the current standards for energy efficiency.
In addition to searching for solutions to improve these parameters, optimization of the cost of energy carriers and thus improve the competitiveness of the products can be achieved when companies begin to provide their own part they need to produce energy. This can be accomplished through the establishment of systems for renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power. When the production process is separated organic waste and scrap of vegetable or animal origin (eg in agriculture and livestock) is appropriate for the construction of installations for the production of electricity and fuels from biomass.
