6 FAQs about [Bulgaria solar microgrid system]

How big is Bulgaria's solar power?

In a matter of months, Bulgaria’s total solar power capacity is set to exceed 3 GW, compared to just 1.3 GW at the end of 2021. The lineup in the list of the largest photovoltaic plants is changing almost every week as major facilities come online, and there is more in the pipeline.

What percentage of Bulgaria's electricity is generated by solar power?

Solar power generated 12% of Bulgaria’s electricity in 2023. By the end of 2020 about 1 GW of solar PV had been installed. It has been estimated that there is potential for at least another 4 GW by 2030. On March 13, 2023, peak photovoltaics power was 30% of Bulgaria electricity generation.

Who owns the power grid in Bulgaria?

In addition to owning a substantial share of power generation through subsidiaries, the state-owned Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH) also owns the high voltage transmission grid. The distribution network and retail supply, by contrast, are privately-run.

Does Bulgaria have a solar power plant?

In April 2023 Bulgaria's Inercom signed contract with Huasun for supply of 1.5GW solar modules. Solar power in Bulgaria has expanded by 100 megawatts (MW) in 2011. A 16.2 MW solar power plant in Zdravetz, Bulgaria was expected to be completed in June 2012, with power being sold for $0.30/ kWh in a fixed rate 20 year power purchase agreement.

Why are distributed solar PV projects being built in Bulgaria?

Most distributed solar PV projects currently being built in Bulgaria are being configured purely for self-consumption; in other words, they are not connected to the grid, and are being used strictly to reduce the customer’s electricity bill. This makes it harder for distribution system operators (DSOs) to monitor, and control.

Are solar panels a viable option for self-consumption in Bulgaria?

Conversely, households and institutions interested in installing solar panels for self-consumption are still stuck with administrative hurdles In the statistics of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Bulgaria had 1.28 GW at the end of 2021 and 1.95 GW just one year later. The measure is expressed in nominal or peak capacity.
