Solar storage inverter cost breakdown in Bulgaria 2030

Will solar power increase in Bulgaria in 2030?

According to Bulgaria’s NECP, the annual production of electricity from renewable energy sources is projected to increase from the current 8.673 GWh to 13.035 GWh in 2030. To achieve this, solar PV generation is projected to increase the most — more than three-fold over the course of the next ten years.

Why is the market for distributed solar PV growing in Bulgaria?

As a result, the market for distributed solar PV in Bulgaria is starting to grow. Remarkably, the growth of the market is occurring despite the lack of a clear policy and regulatory framework, and in spite of the presence of many administrative and tax-related barriers.

What should Bulgaria do about solar energy?

The authorities in Bulgaria need to take steps to systematically reduce barriers, fees, and surcharges on small and medium-sized solar PV systems, make it easier to connect to the grid and export the surplus electricity, and create a comprehensive policy and regulatory environment to catalyse investments.

What is Bulgaria's RES share in 2021-2030?

Between 2013 and 2019, the overall RES share has increased only by 2.7% to reach 21.6% in 2019. More recently, Bulgaria’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) for the period 2021-2030 sets an overall RES target of 27% in gross final consumption of energy in 2030.

What is the biggest solar PV plant to be built in Bulgaria?

This is also one of the biggest solar PV plants to be constructed in Bulgaria in recent years. With the solar PV plant, Aurubis Bulgaria will save some 11.700 MWh per year from grid electricity consumption (sufficient for approx. 12.000 households), which will cover an average of 2.5% of the electricity needs of its smelter facility.
