Sigenergy launches 10 MW/20 MWh of Bulgarian storage using
Sigenergy has deployed a 10 MW/20 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at a solar site in Malko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, using 240 kWh battery stacks typically found in residential
A recent capacity tender has already allocated nearly 9,713 MWh to upcoming projects, further reinforcing the country's ambitions in energy storage. Before the commissioning of the Lovech facility, Bulgaria's largest BESS was a 25 MW / 55 MWh system developed by Renalfa IPP in 2024.
The new system also signals the beginning of Bulgaria's national plan to reach 10 GWh of battery storage capacity within the next year. A recent capacity tender has already allocated nearly 9,713 MWh to upcoming projects, further reinforcing the country's ambitions in energy storage.
Energy storage in Bulgaria is expanding rapidly as the government awards nearly 10 GWh of capacity to 82 projects, boosting renewable energy reliability and grid stability.
Energy Minister Zhecho Stankov hailed the installation as a milestone for Bulgaria's energy independence and regional leadership. “This facility will help maintain the most stable energy system in Southeast Europe,” he said. “We are the pillar of the Balkans in balancing electricity systems.”
