Bulgaria’s electricity supply heavily relies on the existing power plants connected to the Bulgarian grid, which are mostly based on fossil fuels. This presents several economic challenges such as increasing energy costs and environmental impacts that could directly influence the country’s climate goals and transition towards renewable energy sources.
The Saint Nikola wind project is located in the Municipality of Kavarna, Bulgaria, and involves the construction and operation of 52 wind turbines that are connected and supply electricity to the national Bulgarian grid. One of the project’s goals is for all associated project activities to generate lower greenhouse gas emissions factors than that of the average kWh on the Bulgarian grid.
The wind generated electricity by the Saint Nikola wind project is transmitted through an underground energy collection system, located in the step-up substation where it is transmitted to the grid through transformers of 33/110 kV and a switchyard of 110 kV. The wind farm envisions generating over 300,000 MWh per year depending on wind conditions and average wind turbines' technical availability. The design life time of the turbines is approximately 20 years and are therefore expected to operate at least until 2030.
