AES TPP in Galabovo spearheaded a comprehensive renovation project, completely revitalizing the local Youth Center. The project included the refurbishment of the existing building and the construction of new sports and recreational facilities.
Landscaping and improvements to the surrounding grounds transformed the center into a beautiful park. Today, the Youth Center is the most modern sports and cultural hub in the region, featuring a large sports hall, rooms for folk dancing and rhythmic gymnastics, a computer lab, indoor and outdoor fitness areas, a playground, and a covered outdoor concert stage.

Since it began operating, the AES TPP in Galabovo has been providing school supplies to local first-graders as part of AES Bulgaria's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. Educational support is a top priority for AES Bulgaria's CSR initiatives, which aim to encourage the development of young people in the region. The program stimulates their curiosity and skills while boosting their confidence and self-esteem. Over the past 16 years, AES Bulgaria has donated school bags filled with supplies to more than 1,600 first-graders in the Bulgarian Municipality of Galabovo.

In 2022, AES Geo Energy, the company that owns and operates Bulgaria's largest wind farm, "St. Nikola," entered into a partnership agreement with the Technical University of Varna. The two organizations are collaborating to provide technical training for students pursuing a degree in Renewable Energy. The program curriculum includes practical training, internships, educational visits to the wind farm, and opportunities for experimental work for students at all levels. AES Geo Energy also offers scholarships and covers tuition fees to support students in the program.
