Bulgaria has announced 249 new renewable energy and energy storage projects due to be completed by March 2026, boosting the country's energy capacity significantly. By 2030, Bulgaria aims to produce over 34% of their energy from sustainable sources. With nearly 10 GWh of standalone energy storage capacity awarded—more than triple the initial target—the country is making significant headway in reinforcing. . Bulgaria's Ministry of Energy will finance 82 standalone renewable energy storage projects with a combined grant budget of BGN 1. 154 billion (~$675 million) under the EU-backed RESTORE procurement scheme. 89 MWh of usable energy storage capacity—more than. . Bulgaria seeks energy security and clean energy increase with standalone energy storage systems. The subsidies are for battery systems required to be installed together with renewable electricity plants of at least 200 kW in capacity.
