New Information System For The Renewable Energy Sector

A new public information system is to be created about the potential production and consumption of energy from renewable sources in Bulgaria.

The new system will be available online and will create further predictability and transparency in the Bulgarian renewable energy sector.

The system is to be created by virtue of a new ordinance introduced on 22 May 2012, which also sets out conditions for the collection and disclosure of the information.

The information will be collected from all parts of the energy sector and published by the Sustainable Energy Development Agency and will include:

• actual production and consumption of energy from renewable sources compared to the targets set by EU law and introduced into Bulgarian law by the new Renewable Energy Sources Act (eg by 2020, for 16% of all energy consumed to come from renewable sources)
