KEY CONTEXT
What do installed capacities in Bulgaria tell us?
Latest figures
In 2024, total installed electricity capacity is 16 161 MW. Selected renewable capacities include solar 4 560 MW, wind 705.9 MW, hydro 3 418 MW.
What the indicator measures
Capacities are expressed in MW and describe the power of the electricity fleet available at the end of the observed period. They do not directly measure electricity generated.
Important distinction
Comparing solar, wind and hydro describes the structure of the fleet, but actual generation also depends on capacity factors, weather and plant availability.
