Archyde Exclusive: Interview with Delyan Peevski on Bulgaria’s Electricity Crisis
Archyde sat down with Delyan Peevski, leader of the DPS party and the PG of DPS-Novo Nachalo, to discuss the ongoing electricity crisis gripping Bulgaria and the goverment’s response.
**Archyde:** Mr. Peevski, over 200 settlements in Bulgaria are currently facing power outages. What is your assessment of the situation and the government’s response?
**Delyan Peevski:** The situation is scandalous. It is unacceptable that in the 21st century, thousands of Bulgarians are left without electricity, especially during the holiday season. The government’s response has been inadequate. Threatening electricity companies with fines while people suffer is simply not enough.
**Archyde:** You’ve called for a thorough examination into the electricity networks. What specific actions do you believe the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (KEVR) should take?
**Delyan Peevski:** KEVR must urgently investigate the investments made in these networks and assess their technical reliability. Bulgarian citizens have a right to expect 24/7 electricity access, a service they’ve paid for. If the crisis persists, KEVR must implement the strictest sanctions, even revoking the licenses of these companies if necessary.
**Archyde:** You’ve mentioned escalating the issue if KEVR doesn’t act swiftly. What are your next steps?
**Delyan Peevski:** If KEVR fails to act decisively, I will request a comprehensive inspection of all electricity distribution companies by the relevant authorities. we cannot allow this situation to continue.
**Archyde:** Do you believe this crisis highlights a deeper systemic issue within Bulgaria’s energy infrastructure?
**Delyan Peevski:** Absolutely. This crisis exposes vulnerabilities in our energy infrastructure that need to be addressed urgently. We need long-term solutions, not just band-aids.
**Archyde:** What message would you like to send to Bulgarians struggling with these power outages?
**Delyan Peevski:** You are not alone. We are fighting for your right to reliable access to electricity. We will not rest until this crisis is resolved.

## Archyde Exclusive: Unpacking Bulgaria’s Electricity Crisis with Delyan Peevski
**Archyde:** Mr. Peevski,over 200 settlements in Bulgaria are currently facing power outages during the holiday season. What is your assessment of this situation, and how do you view the government’s response?
**Delyan Peevski:** The situation is frankly scandalous. It’s unacceptable that in the 21st century, thousands of Bulgarians are left without electricity for days on end, especially during a time meant for families to be together. The government’s response has been woefully inadequate. Threatening electricity distribution companies with fines while people are suffering is not a solution. It’s a band-aid approach that ignores the systemic issues at play.
**Archyde:** you’ve called for a more robust inquiry into the energy grid’s reliability and investments. Can you elaborate on what actions you believe the Energy and water Regulatory Commission (KEVR) should be taking?
**Delyan Peevski:** KEVR has a responsibility to ensure the security and stability of Bulgaria’s energy infrastructure. They must launch a thorough investigation into the investments made by these electricity distribution companies and assess the technical reliability of the grid. Bulgarians deserve accountability and transparency.
Every citizen has the right to expect 24/7 access to electricity, which they pay for through their bills. If KEVR finds negligence or incompetence, they must implement the strictest sanctions, including revoking the licenses of these companies.
**Archyde:** You’ve also mentioned escalating this issue further if necessary. what specific steps are you prepared to take?
**Delyan Peevski:** If KEVR fails to take urgent and decisive action, I will request an extensive inspection of all electricity distribution companies by the relevant authorities. This situation demands a extensive review to prevent it from happening again.The people deserve answers and concrete solutions, not empty promises.
**Archyde:** Do you believe this electricity crisis exposes deeper structural issues within Bulgaria’s energy sector?
**Delyan Peevski:** Absolutely. This crisis highlights the urgent need for reforms within Bulgaria’s energy sector. We need more transparency, accountability, and investment in modernizing our grid. Relying on outdated infrastructure is simply not sustainable in the long run.
