Caretaker Energy Minister Traicho Traikov reported significant advancements in the repair works at the Chaira Pumped-Storage Power Plant. Hydro Unit 2 is close to completion, and Hydro Unit 3 is slated to resume operations in early April.

A contract for Hydro Unit 1 repairs has been signed, while Hydro Unit 4 is experiencing serious technical difficulties. Traikov has asked for a public roadmap detailing the entire restoration process. He noted that the plant was in excellent condition until failures in 2022 led to its current state.
