Press Release: Antitrust: Commission market tests commitments by Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH) concerning Bulgarian wholesale electricity market

On 19 June 2015 the European Commission invited comments from interested parties on commitments offered by the State-owned Bulgarian Energy Holding EAD (BEH) to address competition concerns about BEH's behaviour on the non-regulated wholesale electricity market in Bulgaria.

The European Commission opened antitrust proceedings into BEH's behaviour in December 2012. In August 2014 it issued a Statement of Objections, where it set out its competition concerns that BEH may have prevented traders from freely deciding where to sell electricity purchased from BEH.
