site.btaCourt Says Maritsa Iztok 2 Coal Plant Violates Environmental Standards

State-owned TPP Maritsa Iztok 2 has been operating in violation of the law since the beginning of 2019, when it received a permit to emit sulphur dioxide nearly twice the permitted level and mercury more than four times over the regulations, Greenpeace Bulgaria said on Tuesday. This was decided by the Administrative Court in Stara Zagora in a case on the TPP’s permit, which was filed by the environmental organizations Greenpeace Bulgaria and Za Zemiata.
