Technical FAQs 4

Where is a Bess power plant located in Bulgaria?

A BESS facility of 124.1 MW in operating power was inaugurated in Lovech in Bulgaria. Located next to a photovoltaic park within Balkan Industrial Park, it is part of the country’s first closed licensed power distribution system.

Which country has the strongest battery energy storage system in the Balkans?

The Bulgarian city of Lovech, northeast of Sofia, hosts the strongest battery energy storage system (BESS) in the Balkans. The Ministry of Energy even said the new facility, with a capability of 124.1 MW and 496.4 MWh in capacity, is the biggest in the European Union.

Why is Bulgaria building a new power plant?

Energy Minister Zhecho Stankov hailed the installation as a milestone for Bulgaria's energy independence and regional leadership. “This facility will help maintain the most stable energy system in Southeast Europe,” he said. “We are the pillar of the Balkans in balancing electricity systems.”

How big is Bulgaria's energy storage capacity?

A recent capacity tender has already allocated nearly 9,713 MWh to upcoming projects, further reinforcing the country's ambitions in energy storage. Before the commissioning of the Lovech facility, Bulgaria's largest BESS was a 25 MW / 55 MWh system developed by Renalfa IPP in 2024.
