Lecţie pentru România. Bulgaria campioana UE în stocarea energiei electrice - Economica.net

Bulgaria has emerged as a leader in energy storage in Europe, driven by solar energy expansion and significant EU funding. The country now stores a larger share of its electricity production than any other EU member, while neighboring countries increasingly rely on imports. Despite political instability, Bulgaria has modernized its electricity system, achieving a storage capacity of 4,800 MW by mid-2026. The government has initiated numerous projects to enhance storage capabilities, supported by private investments. The rapid growth of solar energy has highlighted the need for effective storage solutions, as excess production has previously gone to waste. However, the swift expansion poses risks, including potential congestion in electrical interconnections and reliance on expiring subsidies.
