Bulgaria is situated in the South-Eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. The country’s population is 7.284 million people, and its territory spans 110,912 sq.km. Bulgaria borders Greece and Turkey to the South, and North Macedonia and Serbia to the West. The Danube River to the North is our natural border with Romania; the Black Sea is situated to the East. Bulgaria is in the centre of a region which is undergoing a dynamic transition. Within 500 km of our capital city, Sofia (1.4 million people), a population of over 90 million lives in 9 countries that have recently embarked on their way to a market economy. This is a large market with rapidly increasing purchasing power.
Over the last few years, Bulgaria has been a focus of increasing investor interest. The political stability and predictability due to NATO membership and EU accession, the stable economic perspective, and the growing credit rating of the country after its acceptance into the Eurozone from 1 January 2026, along with its institutions, were only some of the elements attracting investors’ interest. External investors have been attracted by the rapidly developing national industry, a highly skilled workforce and a significant new market.
The development of operational solar PV power plants in Bulgaria began with modest steps in 2007, but progressed rapidly after the second half of 2010. At the end of 2024, the cumulative installed solar PV capacity in Bulgaria exceeded 4,400 MW (4.4 GW). Recent legislative changes in Bulgaria aim to facilitate the permitting process for solar power plants.
Several large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects with a capacity exceeding 50 MW have been announced in Bulgaria since 2023, and these projects are scheduled to be built between 2025 and 2028.
