Bulgaria recorded higher electricity output in June while domestic consumption fell as the country moved into the summer period. Electricity production rose 3.4% from May to 3,162 GWh, while consumption decreased by 3.4% to 2,466 GWh. On a year-on-year basis versus June 2025, generation was 4.6% higher and consumption increased by 2.6%.
Electricity production versus domestic demand
The monthly figures show a widening gap between generation and demand during June. Electricity output increased while consumption declined on the same month-to-month comparison. The data also point to Bulgaria maintaining a relatively strong power-generation position within southeast Europe, where the country regularly has surplus electricity available for neighbouring markets.
Natural gas consumption and domestic production
Natural gas use fell more sharply than electricity demand. Gas consumption dropped 34.1% month-on-month to 143 million cubic metres. Domestic gas production stayed marginal at around 1 million cubic metres.
Petroleum products and solid fuels
Petroleum-product trends were mixed across categories. Unleaded petrol production rose 3.1% to 131,000 tonnes, while domestic consumption declined 8.6% to 53,000 tonnes. Diesel production edged up 0.8% to 255,000 tonnes, compared with consumption of 232,000 tonnes, down 1.7%.
LPG consumption increased by 12.5% to 36,000 tonnes, while LPG production rose 14.3% to 8,000 tonnes. Solid-fuel production climbed 12.2% to 936,000 tonnes, with solid-fuel consumption increasing by 14.7% to 1.014 million tonnes.
