Bulgaria Commits €600 Million to Nearly 10GWh in Energy
Bulgaria''s Ministry of Energy has approved €588 million in funding for 82 standalone battery energy storage projects, totaling nearly 9.7GWh of usable capacity. The
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery energy storge capacity to date. However, new national legislation as well as funds provided through the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) could add another 1 GWh of storage capacity over the next two years.
Another development that can boost battery storage in Bulgaria is a recent update of national legislation to include battery energy storage systems as a component of the grid.
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.
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.
