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.
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.
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.
Currently, Bulgaria operates over 800 megawatts of wind projects Bulgaria has an annual average of 2,100 hours of solar irradiation. As of 2023 over 1,700 megawatts project are operational in Bulgaria and it is growing substantially. Geothermal energy is gaining attention, with legislative proposals to harness Bulgaria's geothermal potential.
In the last two years, the combined nameplate size of solar power installations in Bulgaria has doubled to more than 2.4 GW and additions peaked this summer. Moreover, in the current top 20, no photovoltaic units built since 2021 benefit from any subsidies, data compiled by Capital.bg showed.
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.
