The region of Stara Zagora is affected most by the transition to a climate-neutral economy, as the four coal-fired thermal power plants and mines are located on its territory. This is stated in the definitive territorial just transition plans for the regions of Stara Zagora, Pernik and Kyustendil which the government published.
