Bulgaria Wind, Solar and Electricity Prices, 2026
In Bulgaria, across 397 days from 2025-09-24 (24 September 2025) to 2026-10-27 (27 October 2026), the average day-ahead price on the quarter of days with the highest wind and solar share was EUR 140.16/MWh, against EUR 123.48/MWh on the quarter with the lowest share (EUR 16.68/MWh higher). The correlation between the two is +0.11, little or no linear link between the wind and solar share and the daily price. Prices are day-ahead, in EUR per MWh as published, and are not converted. Correlation is not causation.
Key Facts
- In Bulgaria, across 397 days from 2025-09-24 (24 September 2025) to 2026-10-27 (27 October 2026), the average day-ahead price on the quarter of days with the highest wind and solar share was EUR 140.16/MWh, against EUR 123.48/MWh on the quarter with the lowest share (EUR 16.68/MWh higher). The correlation between the two is +0.11, little or no linear link between the wind and solar share and the daily price.
- Wind and solar averaged 23% of daily generation in Bulgaria over 397 days from 2025-09-24 (24 September 2025) to 2026-10-27 (27 October 2026), and the average day-ahead price over those days was EUR 125.29/MWh.
- The quarter of days with the lowest wind and solar share (5% to 16% of generation) averaged EUR 123.48/MWh; the quarter with the highest share (32% to 42%) averaged EUR 140.16/MWh.
Windiest and Least Windy Days
397 days, 2025-09-24 to 2026-10-27| Days | Number of days | Wind and solar share | Average day-ahead price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest share quarter | 99 | 32% to 42% | EUR 140.16/MWh |
| Lowest share quarter | 99 | 5% to 16% | EUR 123.48/MWh |
Days are ranked by wind plus solar as a share of that day's generation. The average is the mean of the daily average day-ahead prices. These are daily figures and say nothing about individual hours.

Average Price by Wind and Solar Share
EUR/MWh, days in five equal groups| Lowest fifth of days (5% to 15%) | |
|---|---|
| Second fifth (15% to 20%) | |
| Middle fifth (20% to 26%) | |
| Fourth fifth (27% to 33%) | |
| Highest fifth (33% to 42%) |
Each bar is the average day-ahead price on one fifth of the days, from the fifth with the lowest wind and solar share to the fifth with the highest. A bar at zero width is a price at or below zero. Bars are drawn from zero.

What the Correlation Says
The Pearson correlation between the daily wind and solar share and the daily mean day-ahead price in Bulgaria is +0.11 over 397 days: little or no linear link between the wind and solar share and the daily price. Among the 39 zones on the main page, it ranks 36 from the strongest negative link.
Correlation is not causation. Season, weather, demand, gas prices and imports all move at the same time as wind and solar output, so this figure describes how the numbers moved together in this window, not what wind and solar caused. It uses daily averages only.
