Standart daily, 09. Nov. 2007

Solar energy will sustain a golf course near Sofia. Yesterday Spanish Ferry Group officially announced the start of the project for the construction of a golf course in the region of the village of Katina.

Eighty percent of the energy consumed in the golf complex will come from the sun and bio-fuels. Waste water will be treated under a special technology and will be used anew for watering the course.

The Spanish investors have decided to increase the investment from 180 to 500 million euro. The construction of the golf course will actually begin in the spring of 2008 and is planned to be finalized by April 2009.
