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 April 2023 Bulgaria's Inercom signed a contract with Huasun for a supply of 1.5GW solar modules. Solar power in Bulgaria was expanded by 100 megawatts (MW) in 2011.
It has been estimated that there is potential for at least another 4 GW by 2030. By the end of 2024 about 3.9 GW of solar had been installed. On March 13, 2023, peak photovoltaics power was 30% of Bulgaria electricity generation. However, long-term share of solar power is much lower.
Renewable energy includes wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy sources (although it is not yet known whether geothermal energy could generate any electrical power as only slightly over 100 degrees C had been found by 2023 ). Bulgaria has a high potential for solar irradiation, especially in the southern regions of the nation.
Bulgaria has officially approved the development of a 500-MW solar power project, marking a significant milestone in the country''s renewable energy transition. Once completed, the
