Grid access and manageable reinforcement obligations are becoming central to the value and financeability of battery storage projects in Serbia. EMS updated its connection-request lists on 4 November 2026, reflecting an increasingly active project pipeline.
Latest estimates put Bulgaria’s battery fleet at more than 6.2 GW of power capacity and 19 GWh of energy capacity, well above the 3,000 MWh target of the RESTORE support programme. As deployment expands, returns are expected to depend more on operational efficiency and capital discipline.
