Currently, Bulgaria’s electricity market offers an opportunity for €110 ($122) per MWh profit on battery energy storage with two hours of discharge capacity using energy arbitrage. Rystad Energy ’s analysis estimates battery system costs at a flat €60 ($67) per MWh.
Bulgaria’s energy storage tender is open to all technologies, but most projects are likely to have proposed lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) and Malinov mentioned battery projects in his comment.
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery energy storge capacity to date. However, new national legislation as well as funds provided through the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) could add another 1 GWh of storage capacity over the next two years.
Another development that can boost battery storage in Bulgaria is a recent update of national legislation to include battery energy storage systems as a component of the grid.
The successful implementation of battery projects will significantly contribute to the security of the energy system in Bulgaria and the region.” The scheme was opened by the Ministry in May, and approved by the EU last month.
The Bulgarian Energy Ministry opened a tender procedure for supply of energy storage on August 21, 2024. The procedure aims to provide funding for construction and implementation of a 3,000 MWh stand-alone battery storage facility. The total amount of the grant that can be provided under the procedure is €590 million ($ 536 million).
