4 FAQs about Bulgaria Photovoltaic Energy Storage Battery Cabinet 10MWh
Why is energy storage growing in Bulgaria?
Energy storage in Bulgaria is expanding rapidly as the government awards nearly 10 GWh of capacity to 82 projects, boosting renewable energy reliability and grid stability.
How big is Bulgaria's solar PV capacity in 2024?
At the close of 2024, Bulgaria’s solar PV capacity had already reached 3.91 GW—an annual increase of over 1 GW. These developments come on the heels of Bulgaria’s first renewable energy auction held in late 2024, where more than 3 GW of generation and 1.176 GW of storage capacity were secured.
How many projects have been submitted to the Bulgarian Ministry of energy?
The Bulgarian Ministry of Energy announced on December 6 that it has received 151 project proposals worth nearly BGN 5 billion, which far exceeded the available funding of BGN 1.154 billion. Of the submitted proposals, 118 projects-totaling BGN 1.6 billion-were shortlisted.
How many MWh will a battery energy storage system deliver?
The selected projects will deliver a total usable battery energy storage system (BESS) 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 standalone battery storage project proposals was December 5, 2024.
