A New High-Tech Factory for the Production of Energy Storage
This significant increase in production capability would position Bulgaria as a key manufacturer, enabling the country to supply up to 15% of Europe''s anticipated demand for
Specifically, according to data presented by Soltani at the RE-Source Southeast Conference, Bulgaria's electricity market offers an opportunity for €110 per MWh profit with a battery energy storage system with two hours of discharge capacity using energy arbitrage. Rystad Energy's analysis has set the battery system costs at a flat €60 per MWh.
A recent capacity tender has already allocated nearly 9,713 MWh to upcoming projects, further reinforcing the country's ambitions in energy storage. Before the commissioning of the Lovech facility, Bulgaria's largest BESS was a 25 MW / 55 MWh system developed by Renalfa IPP in 2024.
Another development that can boost battery storage in Bulgaria is a recent update of national legislation to include battery energy storage systems as a component of the grid.
“In fact, we are already seeing the transition to energy storage in Bulgaria, mainly through the development of battery storage facilities behind-the-meter,” Alexander Rangelov, CEO of the International Power Supply (IPS) Group, an energy storage manufacturer headquartered in Sofia, told pv magazine.
