Bulgarian federal government is preparing to reintroduce feed-in tariff settlements for roof PV for a year, in a relocation which can restore the nation's solar

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.

Bulgarian-German renewables specialist SUNOTEC has signed a landmark supply agreement for 2.4 GWh of battery-energy-storage systems (BESS) with Chinese power-electronics giant Sungrow. Deliveries of Sungrow’s modular PowerTitan 2.0 units will begin later this year and continue into 2026, equipping a cluster of large-scale solar parks in Bulgaria and several other European markets where SUNOTEC is currently active. The package includes Sungrow’s SG350HX-20 string inverters and MVS medium-voltage stations for a flagship hybrid solar-plus-storage project—marking Sungrow’s first BESS deployment in Bulgaria. Several of the Bulgarian sites are backed by the national RESTORE support programme, positioning them among the country’s largest integrated PV-storage installations to date.  SUNOTEC’s founder and CEO Kaloyan Velichkov said the deal underlines the company’s ambition to “build resilient, storage-enabled infrastructure that brings stability, sustainability and scale to markets across Europe.” By coupling high-efficiency modules with grid-forming batteries, the developer expects to deliver firm-power profiles that can participate in ancillary-services markets and shave peak-price exposure for corporate offtakers. SUNOTEC currently claims an 11 % share of Europe’s utility-scale solar construction market with more than 11 GW installed across 650 projects. For Sungrow, the order strengthens its footprint in Central and South-East Europe—a region racing to add storage as renewable penetration rises. The PowerTitan platform integrates liquid-cooled lithium-iron-phosphate cells, multi-level safety circuitry and intelligent thermal management, enabling two-hour to four-hour configurations ideal for evening-peak shifting and grid-balancing services. Regional director Anastasios Gkinis said partnering with SUNOTEC “creates a powerful force to redefine the energy landscape” and accelerate Bulgaria’s transition from coal-heavy generation to low-carbon flexibility assets.  Industry analysts note that large bespoke orders such as SUNOTEC’s are increasingly common as European developers look to lock in supply ahead of expected tightness in the global battery market. With EU grid codes tightening and capacity-market reforms rewarding fast-response storage, integrated PV-plus-storage portfolios are becoming the new norm rather than the exception. SUNOTEC aims to commission its first Sungrow-equipped battery blocks in early 2026, with the remainder following in phased intervals through 2027.

PV farm will be located in Giurgiu County, on arable land near the border with Bulgaria. It will consist of 286,680 modules of 600 Wp each and 470 string inverters.

The deal is valued at up to EUR 2 billion and includes 90 projects in Italy, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania. Mytilineos will handle the development and construction
