Electricity produced by RES has increased by over 26% in a year The participation of renewable energy sources (RES) in the transmission network increased by 26.46 percent for the period January 1, 2024 - January 21, 2024 compared to January 1, 2023 - January 21, 2023. This is shown by the data of the last operational report on the energy balance in the country of the Electricity System Operator (ESO). From the beginning of the year to January 21, the share of RES in the transmission network was reported in the amount of 131,560 megawatt hours, while for the analogous period of 2023, this share was 104,031 megawatt hours. The participation of RES in the distribution network also increased - by 20.73 percent in the compared period. The data show that for the first 21 days of the year, 131,253 megawatt-hours of electricity entered the distribution network from RES energy, while for the comparable period of the past year, 2023, there were 108,720 megawatt-hours. Electricity production in Bulgaria decreased by 15.38 percent for the period 1 - 21 January 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. From the beginning of the year to January 21, 2,472,023 megawatt hours were produced, while for the same period last year the electricity produced was 2,921,158 megawatt hours. From January 1 to January 21 this year, electricity consumption in the country increased by 7.28 percent. For this period of the year, 2,651,051 megawatt hours were consumed, while in the same period last year, consumption was 2,471,258 megawatt hours. The balance (export-import) of electricity continues to decrease, the ESO report also shows. For the first 21 days of the year, it is negative - with minus 179,028 megawatt hours, while in the analogous period of 2023 it was positive with 449,900 megawatt hours. The participation of base plants in the country's energy balance from the beginning of the year to January 21 compared to this period in 2023 also decreased - by 19.76 percent. From January 1 to January 21 this year, 2,069,283 megawatt-hours of electricity were produced from base plants, while for the same period in 2023, electricity from them was 2,578,728 megawatt-hours. An increase in electricity produced by hydroelectric power stations is reported - by 7.90 percent for the period January 1, 2024 - January 21, 2024 compared to January 1, 2023 - January 21, 2023.
