Why is energy storage growing in Bulgaria?
Energy storage in Bulgaria is expanding rapidly as the government awards nearly 10 GWh of capacity to 82 projects, boosting renewable energy reliability and grid stability.
How much solar power does Bulgaria have?
The solar power plant’s estimated output is equivalent to the electricity needs of more than 45,000 Bulgarian households. PPC Group runs an 18 MW wind farm called Garda in the country and has another 550 MW in its renewables project pipeline. The company’s overall online green energy capacity is 5.5 GW.
How big is Bulgaria's solar PV capacity in ?
At the close of , Bulgaria’s solar PV capacity had already reached 3.91 GW—an annual increase of over 1 GW. These developments come on the heels of Bulgaria’s first renewable energy auction held in late , where more than 3 GW of generation and 1.176 GW of storage capacity were secured.
How will the selected storage systems be distributed in Bulgaria?
The selected storage systems will be geographically distributed across Bulgaria and connected either to the national transmission grid or local distribution networks. All awarded projects must be operational by March .
What does Bulgaria's surge in storage capacity mean for Europe?
As Europe races toward climate neutrality, Bulgaria’s surge in storage capacity signals a shift not only in national priorities but also in regional energy dynamics.
Is Bulgaria moving towards a greener energy future?
Bulgaria is taking bold steps toward a greener energy future, having recently wrapped up its most ambitious energy storage tender to date.
