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.
Sepehr Soltani, lead energy storage analyst at Norwegian consultancy Rystad Energy told the RE-Source Southeast Conference that took place in Sofia, Bulgaria, in May that Bulgaria offers the highest revenue potential for battery storage in Europe.
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery capacity to date, with business models mainly based on grid balancing and arbitrage.
Storage facilities should have a capacity for a duration of at least 4 hours and a capacity of at least 30% of the total installed capacity of the RES facility. For RES with an installed capacity of 100MWp, the minimum stored 978-1-6654-9026-9/22/$31.00 ©2022 IEEE capacity is required to be 30MW or 120MWh for a lithium-ion battery .
The total amount of the grant that can be provided under the procedure is €590 million ($ 536 million). Bulgaria borders the western shores of the Black Sea between Greece, Turkey, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Romania.
The legislative update coupled with new financing by the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility mean that about 1000 MWh of new battery capacity is expected to be connected to the grid within the next two years. This capacity will be used for both solar peak shaving and grid balancing,” Rangelov said.
