Bulgaria wants one more 2.6 GW of renewables by 2030-- and also coal
Bulgaria is targeting 2,645 MW of brand-new renewable resource generation capacity this years, according to a draft version of the country's Strategy for Sustainable Energy Development till 2030 with a horizon until 2050, published on the nationwide parliament's internet site.
The brand-new capacity would include around 2.3 GW of solar and wind projects, which Sofia said should be released on a market basis. No information were supplied regarding exactly how such volumes would be appointed and in which market sectors.
The technique additionally envisages the nation's coal power plants will remain active beyond 2030 as well as includes the opportunity of new nuclear capability as well as upgraded gas interconnection with neighboring countries.
The draft file will certainly be reviewed by the Bulgarian cabinet and also parliament prior to adoption.
Non-hydropower renewables compose around 2.3 GW of Bulgaria's 12.6 GW power generation fleet, with lignite and also hard coal-fired power stations providing 4.5 GW, hydro 3.2 GW, nuclear 2 GW and also natural gas 600 MW. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) approximates solar accounted for 1,065 MW of that clean power capability at the end of last year, with only 32 MW of new projects included 2019. Irena claimed only 53 MW of brand-new solar capacity has actually been included Bulgaria in the last seven years, due to an absence of rewards.
Last year's 32 MW presaged an uptick in new large range solar centers, with plans for a 400 MW solar park in the Haskovo municipality of southerly Bulgaria unveiled late last month. That project is anticipated to sell clean power under a private power supply offer. A 180 MW solar project is also being developed in the community of Devnya, in the Varna district of northeastern Bulgaria.

Bulgaria Launches Consultation for 3,000-MWh Storage Programme
Bulgaria's energy ministry has initiated a public consultation on the terms for an electricity storage tender procedure under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). The program aims to add at least 3,000 MWh of storage capacity to the electricity transmission network, with almost BGN 1.2 billion in grant funding available to support selected projects. The grants will cover up to 50% of eligible costs, with a cap of BGN 371,608 per MWh without VAT.The initiative, known as "National infrastructure for storage of electricity from renewable sources" (RESTORE), is designed to boost the share of renewables in Bulgaria's energy mix. Energy minister Vladimir Malinov emphasized the importance of storage facilities for balancing and managing the electricity system, ensuring security and stability while integrating renewable energy into the market. The public consultation will continue until July 25, with the goal of enhancing the country's energy infrastructure.In related news, Renalfa IPP has launched Bulgaria's largest battery energy storage system, a 25-MW/55-MWh facility. This development highlights the growing importance of energy storage in the country's energy sector and demonstrates a commitment to advancing renewable energy technologies.
