Summary/Abstract: This article aims to examine the national mechanism applied in Bulgaria to tackle the high electricity prices in the period 2021-2023 and its impact on state-owned enterprises, which are the main source of the compensation funds. The proposed thesis is that with the collection of the revenues of state-owned companies, they are posted in conditions of restriction in terms of development opportunities, which is why the imposed emergency measures should be reviewed in the future. Although the measures themselves are widely discussed, the mechanisms for providing financial support, the financial magnitude of this support, as well as its effect, are yet to be clarified, and the data collected in the material may be useful for further analyses and evaluations.
