Bulgaria opens bidding for 3GWh standalone battery energy storage
The Bulgarian government considers the latest battery storage tender as part of its larger efforts to increase the share of renewable energy generation, especially wind and solar,
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.
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.
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.
The project, the largest in Eastern Europe, has been realised by Solarpro, a company specialising in energy generation and storage solutions across Europe. The facility became operational in early June 2024, following the installation of Hithium's 16 energy storage containers, each with a 3.44MWh capacity.
Bulgaria is taking bold steps toward a greener energy future, having recently wrapped up its most ambitious energy storage tender to date.
