Bulgaria has one of the lowest wholesale electricity prices in the EU, anchored by the 2 000 MW Kozloduy nuclear plant which alone covers 35–40% of national generation. Coal from the Maritsa basin still provides another 35% — making Bulgaria one of the EU's most coal-dependent grids alongside Poland.

Hydro and wind round out the mix at ~10% each, with solar growing fast (over 4 GW installed by end-2025). Electricity System Operator (ESO) runs the single BG bidding zone and operates IBEX, the day-ahead market. Bulgaria is a regional power exporter, sending roughly 6 TWh annually to Greece, Romania, Serbia and North Macedonia.

Plans to retire the lignite plants by 2038 are being met with strong pushback from coal regions; the government's energy strategy bets on extending Kozloduy by adding two AP1000 reactors at the same site in the late 2030s.

FAQ — Bulgaria

How is the electricity price determined?
Day-ahead prices in Bulgaria are auctioned each morning around 14:00 EEST on Nord Pool / EPEX. The cheapest mix of generation that meets demand wins; that price applies for the next 24 hours.
When is electricity cheapest?
Today's average wholesale price in Bulgaria is 0.200 лв /kWh. Cheapest hours typically fall between 00:00–04:00 EEST and around midday on sunny / windy days.
Why is my electricity bill higher than the spot price?
The wholesale spot price you see here is one component. Your retail bill in Bulgaria also adds electricity tax, grid fees, VAT and a supplier markup — total roughly 30–60 % above wholesale.
How accurate is this data?
Source: ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, the EU regulator's data feed. Updated every 10–20 minutes.
Are tomorrow's prices already known?
Tomorrow's day-ahead prices for Bulgaria appear on this page automatically once Nord Pool / EPEX closes the auction around 14:00 EEST each day.
