6 FAQs about [Sofia Large Energy Storage Project]
Is there a transition to energy storage in Bulgaria?
“In fact, we are already seeing the transition to energy storage in Bulgaria, mainly through the development of battery storage facilities behind-the-meter,” Alexander Rangelov, CEO of the International Power Supply (IPS) Group, an energy storage manufacturer headquartered in Sofia, told pv magazine.
How much does a battery energy storage system cost in Bulgaria?
Specifically, according to data presented by Soltani at the RE-Source Southeast Conference, Bulgaria’s electricity market offers an opportunity for €110 per MWh profit with a battery energy storage system with two hours of discharge capacity using energy arbitrage. Rystad Energy’s analysis has set the battery system costs at a flat €60 per MWh.
What will Bulgaria's solar power capacity be used for?
This capacity will be used for both solar peak shaving and grid balancing,” Rangelov said. Bulgaria’s Ministry of Energy is currently running two tenders aiming to commission 1,425 MW of solar and wind generation capacity coupled with 350 MW of behind-the-meter energy storage.
Which country has the highest revenue potential for battery storage in Europe?
Sepehr Soltani, lead energy storage analyst at Norwegian consultancy Rystad Energy told the RE-Source Southeast Conference that took place in Sofia, Bulgaria, in May that Bulgaria offers the highest revenue potential for battery storage in Europe.
Will a battery energy storage system be integrated with renewable electricity plants?
Bulgaria already held the first two tenders for battery energy storage systems (BESS) that would be integrated with renewable electricity plants. Earlier this month, Renalfa IPP has started the commercial operation of its first utility-scale battery energy storage system.
How much battery capacity does Bulgaria have?
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery capacity to date, with business models mainly based on grid balancing and arbitrage.
