Bulgaria's National Energy and Climate Plan mandates 27% renewables by 2030, requiring about 5 GW of new solar beyond 2024 levels. The November 2024 auction issued 3 GW of solar rights at EUR 55/MWh, 30% below the former feed-in tariff, proving solar's cost leadership and pivoting procurement from administratively set rates to competitive tenders.
Bulgaria's power sector is diverse and well developed, with universal access to the grid and numerous cross-border connections in neighboring countries. A key driver of the Bulgarian economy, the energy sector is strongly affected by geopolitical, economic, and regulatory pressures.
Coal energy was the main source of electricity production in Bulgaria in 2022. It accounted for over 45 percent of total electricity generation. Nuclear energy ranked second, making up 35 percent of total production.
Bulgaria's energy generation includes nuclear energy, solid fuels, such as lignite, as well as small quantities of gas. The role of renewable energy sources (wind, solar, biomass, and hydro) has increased dramatically in recent years.
