The Ministry of Energy of Bulgaria has selected 82 winning energy storage projects for a share of BGN 1.15 billion (€588 million) in financial support. Power generation firm Hidroelectrica has enlisted local firms Prime Batteries Technology and Enevo to deploy a large-scale BESS project in Romania.
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.
The selected storage systems will be geographically distributed across Bulgaria and connected either to the national transmission grid or local distribution networks. All awarded projects must be operational by March 2026.
The selected projects will deliver a total usable energy storage capacity of 9,712.89 MWh, the Ministry of Energy said on April 17, more than three times the minimum target of 3 GWh originally set by the tender. The deadline for submission of project proposals was December 5, 2024.
Under the RESTORE initiative, launched through Bulgaria’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), the Ministry of Energy has selected 82 projects that will collectively receive BGN 1.15 billion (approximately $675 million) in public funding.
Grant funding is capped at BGN 148.6 million per project, covering up to 50% of eligible costs, and limited to BGN 371,607.70 per MWh of usable capacity (excluding VAT). This tender marks a significant milestone in Bulgaria’s broader decarbonization agenda.
