The Centre for Investigative Reporting (CIN) has compiled a map of foreign investments in the energy sector that have either not been realised or whose implementation has been delayed for years. Most of these projects were announced as concessions granted for a period of 30 years, with some later extended by an additional 15 years, yet construction work on the ground has never begun. On average, the delays amount to 14.5 years. The map includes 15 announced foreign investments with a combined value of at least 8.3 billion convertible marks.
