Bulgarian electricity transmission system operator ESO has signed preliminary contracts for 15 GW of new renewable energy capacity. That means that 7 to 8 GW of new capacity will be realized.
Since the start of 2023, more than 1,700 MW of renewable capacity has been connected to ESO’s network, with an additional 200-300 MW expected to be connected by the end of the year.
As of 1 October, the share of renewable energy in Bulgaria’s energy mix has reached 25.5%, with 12% in solar power plants.
