Changes facilitate the development of renewable energy sources in Bulgaria

Energy and Water Regulatory Commission has adopted amendments to the Electricity Trading Rules. They are part of the commitments under the Recovery and Resilience Plan and should lead to the termination of the initiated procedure against Bulgaria for non-transposition of the European Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources.

The changes create regulatory prerequisites for the rapid development of citizen energy communities and renewable energy communities on the territory of the country and encourage end customers and other persons to build generating capacities for their own consumption. This reduces the technological costs of electricity distribution network operators related to the transmission of electricity and also ensures more predictable energy costs and lower prices for network services.
