      Electricity is of major importance to the Bulgarian economy

      In line with EU liberalisation efforts, the major developments in the Bulgarian electricity sector in recent years are related to the transposition of the Third Energy Package, facilitating the market liberalisation process and increasing the rights of the consumers.


      • Issues in the electricity sector
        • Decreasing annual gross production of electricity due to decreasing internal electricity consumption
        • Increasing share of the liberalised market
        • Decreasing levels of investments in maintenance and modernisation, slowed down by insufficient financing in the sector
        • Low energy efficiency
        • High share of installed capacities from renewable resources (32.9% as at 31 December 2013), thus exceeding requirements set, as a result of the investments made in recent years
        • Recently established energy exchange and balancing market, which has been in operation only since 1 June 2014. 
           

        These features of the local electricity market impose serious challenges for its future development and stability, especially considering the ever changing economic and regulatory climate. 

      • Mid-term Perspective

        In the mid-term perspective, there is a need for:

        • Stability in regulatory policies
        • Overall strategy for the development of the sector with a particular emphasis and clear vision on the future of nuclear energy and energy efficiency. 
      • Strategy Plan

        The overall strategy should envisage measures to:

        • Resolve the issues with financing in the sector
        • Improve the functioning mechanism of the balancing market
        • Contribute to an operational energy exchange. 
      • The Right Support
