ablish a reliable energy system with greater share of intermittent generation. In the context of Bulgaria's energy landscape, energy storage solutions present a diverse array of benefits to various stakeholders stemming fro its unique ability to time-shift energy and rapidly respond when called upon. The applic
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.
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 ($67) per MWh.
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery energy storge capacity to date. However, new national legislation as well as funds provided through the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) could add another 1 GWh of storage capacity over the next two years.
The Bulgarian Energy Ministry opened a tender procedure for supply of energy storage on August 21, 2024. The procedure aims to provide funding for construction and implementation of a 3,000 MWh stand-alone battery storage facility. The total amount of the grant that can be provided under the procedure is €590 million ($ 536 million).
That capacity will be used for both solar peak shaving and grid balancing. The Bulgarian Energy Ministry opened a tender procedure for supply of energy storage on August 21, 2024.
