As the global community increasingly transitions toward renewable energy sources, understanding the dynamics of energy storage costs has become imperative. This
The latest white paper, prepared by Fluence in collaboration with APSTE, examines the current state of the Bulgarian energy market and the potential for energy storage applications to revolutionise the energy landscape in Bulgaria.
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.
In 2023, the Bulgarian Parliament introduced specific legislative amendments regulating the electricity storage. The rationale behind the amendments is to provide balance and flexibility to the power system. Energy storage is a crucial step for low-carbon economy since it enhances the security of supply and the development of renewables capacity.
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 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).
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.
