Deputy Industry Minister M. Tlapa said yesterday after meeting his Bulgarian counterpart that CEZ still has a quite high chance to win the tender for the western group of Bulgarian regional power distributors. Note that CEZ submitted the second-highest binding bid of USD 281m (Austrian EVN offered USD 302m, but it can only win one of two tenders in which it submitted the highest bids). The winners of the bidding should be selected by the end of July.
