We are ready to find a solution by the end of the day, negotiations are underway, said Veselin Sinabov
Sofia residents will not be left without heating. This was stated in Alexandroupolis by the executive director of “Bulgargaz” Veselin Sinabov, he is there to supervise the unloading of the first delivery of liquefied natural gas at the terminal launched two days ago. The news of freezing accounts of the capital’s heating system from the morning created tension in the capital’s municipality.
Sinabov explained that not all accounts were frozen, but only one, and this was not the first frozen this year.
“For five months, we have been in intensive talks with “Toplofikatsia – Sofia” to repay the accumulated debts. In July, we also imposed a garnishment, after which we found an agreement. The current garnishment is now partial, the reason for doing it is that, unlike previous years, when in the summer, significantly larger funds came in, which paid off the winter obligations, this summer it is the other way around, we do not even receive income that covers the summer invoices”, explained the head of the gas company.
He stated that negotiations are currently underway with “Toplofikatsia-Sofia”, after they found out from there that a seizure had been imposed, and he thinks that a solution will be found.
The debts of the capital heating company, apart from those to BEH, have become over BGN 800 million, they are from March 2023 until now, and the upcoming winter, in which gas consumption will increase, worries “Bulgargaz”, it is clear from the words of her boss.
Sinabov stated that the liquidity of “Bulgargaz” is not at risk, the company has available funds to cover its needs, “we just don’t see a desire from heating to cover even its current obligations”.
We are ready by the end of the day, we will find a solution, he added, explaining that it is a rescheduling of some period. He also clarified that this is a managerial decision of the company and has nothing to do with BEH, it was taken so that the heating system could start paying.
