The pilot project seeks to introduce the first commercial wind farm to Bulgaria, and to provide a case study demonstrating that wind power is an economically viable source of energy.  The USTDA-funded feasibility study will define a wind farm model that can be replicated elsewhere in Bulgaria. 

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency advances economic development and U.S. commercial interests in developing and middle-income countries.  The agency funds various forms of technical assistance, feasibility studies, training, orientation visits and business workshops that support the development of a modern infrastructure and a fair and open trading environment.  USTDA’s strategic use of foreign assistance funds to support sound investment policy and decision-making in host countries creates an enabling environment for trade, investment and sustainable economic development.  In carrying out its mission, USTDA gives emphasis to economic sectors that may benefit from U.S. exports of goods and services.
