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.
A total of 151 project proposals were submitted in Bulgaria’s standalone energy storage procurement procedure named RESTORE, which is seeking to support the construction and commissioning of renewable energy storage facilities with a cumulative minimum usable capacity of 3 GWh.
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.
