				    Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery capacity to date, with business models mainly based on grid balancing and arbitrage.
				    Grid-scale battery costs can be measured in $/kW or $/kWh terms. Thinking in kW terms is more helpful for modelling grid resiliency. A good rule of thumb is that grid-scale lithium ion batteries will have 4-hours of storage

				    Executive Summary In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration
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.
Bulgaria’s energy storage tender is open to all technologies, but most projects are likely to have proposed lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) and Malinov mentioned battery projects in his comment.
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery capacity to date, with business models mainly based on grid balancing and arbitrage.
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.
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh battery energy storage capacity to date. However, a new national legislation as well as funds provided through the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility could see the country install another 1 GWh over the next two years.
The Bulgarian Energy Ministry opened a tender procedure for supply of energy storage on August 21, 2024. The procedure aims to provide funding for construction and implementation of a 3,000 MWh stand-alone battery storage facility. The total amount of the grant that can be provided under the procedure is €590 million ($ 536 million).
