Energy storage systems are a rapidly evolving class of high-tech equipment that unlocks fundamentally new opportunities for the development of the power industry. They make electricity “storable” and portable, eliminating the need for strict simultaneity between electricity generation and consumption processes. These systems ensure uninterrupted power supply during critical drops, reductions, or complete absence of voltage in the power grid.

In this regard, Trakia MT Solar Ltd. is developing its first combined energy storage project with a capacity of 27 MWh and power output of up to 13.5 MW. This aligns with the requirement that the storage component’s power should range from 30% to 50% of the connected power of the production component from the Malko Tarnovo PVP. The system is designed to perform one full charge and discharge cycle within two hours each day.

As renewable energy continues to scale up, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are becoming an integral part of the energy landscape. To ensure stable, consistent, and affordable green energy supplies catering to diverse needs in the renewable energy sector, Trakia MT Solar Ltd.’s strategy aims to build new energy storage capacities by 2034. This plan includes facilities with a total capacity of 200 MWh and a power output of up to 100 MW, either integrated with photovoltaic power plants or as standalone systems, prioritizing the best possible economic and technical solutions.
