During the first two weeks of April 2010 the Bulgarian government and media announced details of abuses and irregularities in the Bulgarian energy sector and proposed ideas for restructuring, which confirmed the existance of serious governance problems in the sector. These findings are not new. In 2006 - 2007, during a previous public outcry, which led to the resignation of the then Energy Minister, the Center for the Study of Democracy published a detailed analysis of the most common bad management practices in the energy sector. The conclusions and recommendations of this analysis apply with full force today. CSD has summarized them in this media note and with reference to the original analysis.
