Technical FAQs 4

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.

What will Bulgaria's solar power capacity be used for?

This capacity will be used for both solar peak shaving and grid balancing,” Rangelov said. Bulgaria’s Ministry of Energy is currently running two tenders aiming to commission 1,425 MW of solar and wind generation capacity coupled with 350 MW of behind-the-meter energy storage.

How much does a battery energy storage system cost in Bulgaria?

Specifically, according to data presented by Soltani at the RE-Source Southeast Conference, Bulgaria’s electricity market offers an opportunity for €110 per MWh profit with a battery energy storage system with two hours of discharge capacity using energy arbitrage. Rystad Energy’s analysis has set the battery system costs at a flat €60 per MWh.

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.
