Summary/Abstract: The energy transition is a historical process in which new energy sources are being used. However, old and new energy sources will coexist for a long time under the current global trend of industrial transformation. Haste by refusing to develop and use old sources such as coal, natural gas and nuclear energy, before the guaranting of the development of safe, sustainable and reliable new energy sources, leads to reduced competitiveness and deindustrialization, due to the lack of cheap and reliable energy resources. The common energy policy of the EU does not take into account the specificities of the energy sectors, the different climatic conditions and the level of industrial development of the member states from Eastern and Southern Europe. The main problem in the Bulgarian energy policy is the lack of proper definition of national interests in energy.
