Wind power in Bulgaria

Last updated

Wind power generated 2% of electricity in Bulgaria in 2023. [1] By the end of 2020 almost 1 GW of onshore wind power had been installed. [2] It has been estimated that there is potential for at least another 2 GW by 2030. [3] The total wind power grid-connected capacity in Bulgaria was 702 MW as of 2023. [4]
