November 11, 2025

In October, the St. Nikola wind farm and AES’ TPP in Galabovo generated an amount of electricity enough to meet the average monthly consumption of over 1.1 million Bulgarian households. During the coldest October in the past 4 years (aaccording to data from the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology), the two power plants produced more than 313,374 MWh of electricity. This represents 10% of the country’s total consumption for the month. In other words, every tenth kilowatt-hour of electricity in October came from AES Bulgaria’s facilities. It is noteworthy that the consumption in the country during the past month was the highest for the last six years. 

The turbines of Bulgaria’s largest wind farm, St. Nikola, produced 22,761 MWh of sustainable electricity in October - clean energy born by the nature, bringing light and warmth to thousands of Bulgarian homes. Every megawatt-hour generated by the sea breeze is a step toward a more sustainable future for Bulgaria.

During the same period, Bulgaria’s most technologically advanced coal-fired facility, the AES’ TPP in Galabovo, generated 290,613 MWh of electricity using domestic energy resources. This represents the highest October output achieved by the power plant since 2021. AES’ TPP in Galabovo is Bulgaria’s most flexible coal-fired power plant and thanks to its manoeuvrability, it provides the ESO with a wide range of system services for managing the national electricity grid.
