Summary/Abstract: According to three quarters of the adult population in Bulgaria, the reduction of corruption and the impact of private interests in the management of the energy sector is leading to improving the country's energy security. Additional factors identified by every third citizen are the limitation of political influence in strategic decision making in the sector, as well as improved governance of state-owned companies. The long-term deterioration of the financial state of the state energy enterprises, which led to NEK's "technical bankruptcy" and the dominance of non-market principles in the spending of public funds, Through public procurement, shows the existing systemic inability of the public authorities to plan and conduct a transparent and efficient energy policy.
