The amenities can have a complete capability of 1,500 megawatts and can be capable of retailer the electrical energy of inexperienced producers
One of the vital awaited procedures of the restoration plan – that of constructing the large batteries, lastly noticed the sunshine of day. The Ministry of Vitality publishes its circumstances for public dialogue.
The overall quantity of grant funding below the challenge “Nationwide infrastructure for the storage {of electrical} vitality from renewable sources” is BGN 1,179,365,490.
The intention is to construct a community of battery farms to allow renewable sources to retailer electrical energy in periods of overproduction and thus assist stability the electrical energy system.
The last word purpose is to retailer 3,000 megawatt hours. Contemplating that the charging and discharging interval of those amenities is 2 hours every, it’s a query of energy of 1500 megawatts. This can be a critical quantity, provided that, based on the Company for Sustainable Vitality Growth, by 2023, photovoltaics had been 2,871 megawatts, and wind vegetation – 697.
In March this 12 months, once more below the restoration plan, two procedures had been introduced for the development of renewable sources with batteries. The primary has an put in capability of 200 kilowatts to 2 megawatts, and the second – over 200 kilowatts. The monetary help is for BGN 535 million, and it is just for the batteries. These hundreds of thousands help the development and grid integration of a brand new 1,425 megawatts of renewable electrical energy era capability, together with 350 megawatts of electrical energy storage amenities.
Which means based on the three procedures – for big and for smaller batteries, by the center of 2026 there might be storage capacities of round 1850 megawatts.
In response to the process for big batteries launched for public dialogue, the utmost quantity of funding for one proposal of 1 enterprise is BGN 148,643,080.
The utmost depth of grant funding for every applicant is as much as 50% of the eligible prices, however not more than BGN 371,607.70 (with out VAT) for 1 megawatt hour of usable vitality capability.
The storage amenities might be distributed on the territory of Bulgaria and linked to the electrical energy transmission community of ESO.
Here’s what is written within the rationale for these batteries: “The anticipated impact is the profitable integration into the grid {of electrical} vitality storage amenities on the energy grid degree of no less than 3,000 megawatt-hours, which is able to help current and new era capacities with out jeopardizing the safety and stability of the electrical energy system, thereby contributing to a rise within the share of electrical energy from renewable vitality sources and decarbonisation of the sector”.
This process shouldn’t be just for massive photovoltaic corporations, however for any firm that’s thinking about working battery farms, the division explains.
Along with the normal necessities for candidates – to be merchants throughout the which means of the Business Regulation, to have offered details about their precise homeowners, to offer financial institution ensures and extra, there are additionally extra particular ones.
