Westinghouse has signed a shareholder agreement following consultations with all Bulgarian political parties for the expansion of the Kozloduy nuclear power plant. This and subsequent agreements will be subject to future government oversight. In the agreement, the Westinghouse AP-1000 nuclear power plant was selected by Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH), Kozloduy NPP and Kozloduy NPP‑New Builds. These parties entered into exclusive talks in December 2013, following a feasibility study which was conducted under a competitive tender. Westinghouse will provide all of the plant equipment, design, engineering and fuel. Within the next year, Westinghouse will issue a competitive tender, in line with European Union (EU) and Bulgarian public procurement rules, for the plant construction. The AP-1000 reactor is projected to be online by 2023. It will be built on the site of the existing Kozloduy power plant, consisting in two 953 MW units.
