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 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.
Which energy sources can be used in Bulgaria?
Renewable energy includes wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy sources (although it is not yet known whether geothermal energy could generate any electrical power as only slightly over 100 degrees C had been found by ). Bulgaria has a high potential for solar irradiation, especially in the southern regions of the nation.
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.
