Bulgaria 3GWh energy storage tender 4x
The deadline has now passed for an EU-backed support scheme for standalone energy storage in Bulgaria, which was 4x oversubscribed.
Specifically, according to data presented by Soltani at the RE-Source Southeast Conference, Bulgaria's electricity market offers an opportunity for €110 per MWh profit with a battery energy storage system with two hours of discharge capacity using energy arbitrage. Rystad Energy's analysis has set the battery system costs at a flat €60 per MWh.
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.
This capacity will be used for both solar peak shaving and grid balancing,” Rangelov said. Bulgaria's Ministry of Energy is currently running two tenders aiming to commission 1,425 MW of solar and wind generation capacity coupled with 350 MW of behind-the-meter energy storage.
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.
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.
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery capacity to date, with business models mainly based on grid balancing and arbitrage.
