The Bulgarian Ministry of Energy has launched two tenders to procure 1,425 MW of renewable capacity with 350 MW of energy storage. The two tenders, launched under Bulgaria's National Recovery and Sustainability Plan, have an overall budget of about BGN535m (€274m). Bids can be submitted until 12 June 2024.
The first tender, BG-RRP-4.032, supports new power generation capacities from renewable sources and electricity storage with an installed capacity of 200 kW to 2 MW. The BGN108m (€55m) tender seeks to deliver at least 200 MW of wind and solar capacity in combination with at least 100 MW of storage. The second tender, BG-RRP-4.033, also seeks to back capacities above 200 kW. The BGN427.5m (€219m) tender plans to procure at least 940 MW of solar and/or wind capacity with at least 200 MW of co-located storage.
Bulgaria has set a target to reach 27% of renewables in final energy consumption by 2030, including 30% for electricity, 43% for heating and cooling, and 14% for transport. The country will have to add 2.65 GW of renewables to meet these targets, mainly solar (2.17 GW).
