Toplofikatsiya Sofia operates without qualified engineers making critical technical decisions for the heating company. Ivan Hinovski from the Bulgarian Energy and Mining Forum stated that lawyers and economists are unable to properly manage such complex energy infrastructure. The company lacks basic documentation showing pipe locations, sizes, replacement dates, and current conditions throughout its underground network.
Hinovski outlined three immediate reforms needed to reduce heating costs for residents. The organization requires internal restructuring alongside opening competition to private heat producers. Phased modernization must begin immediately to deliver lower bills and better system performance across the capital.
