The Ministry of Energy of Bulgaria and the Norwegian company "Innovation Norway" have successfully implemented a project on energy communities in Bulgaria, funded by the EEA and Norway Grants 2014–2021, through the Fund for Bilateral Relations, with a focus on promoting a sustainable energy future.

The Sustainable Energy Development Agency participated in the implementation of the project with the task of identifying existing barriers and recommending initiatives for the creation of both energy communities and renewable energy communities in Bulgaria.

As a result of this project, the report attached below has been prepared. Its aim is to encourage the development of energy communities in Bulgaria by outlining strategies, benefits, and frameworks to support their establishment and growth. It is intended for regulatory authorities, stakeholders in the energy sector, local communities, investors, and environmental organizations.
