Bulgaria is witnessing a resurgence in its wind energy sector, marked by a significant turbine supply agreement between Vestas Wind Systems and Tessa Green Energy. This collaboration aims to develop a 70 MW wind project, highlighting a potential shift towards increased investment in renewable energy following a prolonged period of stagnation in the industry.
The contract entails the delivery of 11 EnVentus V162-6.4 MW turbines, set to be installed at the Strazhitsa wind farm. This initiative is regarded as a pivotal move to reignite large-scale wind development in Bulgaria, which has faced years of limited activity. The project represents a crucial step forward for the nation’s renewable energy ambitions.
Construction preparations are already underway, with local company DMT Prime involved in the development efforts. According to representatives from Tessa Green Energy, this project is anticipated to become the first major wind installation in Bulgaria in over ten years, marking a noteworthy milestone for the sector.
The agreement also encompasses a long-term service contract, which will provide ongoing maintenance and operational support for the turbines. Turbine deliveries are projected to commence in early 2027, with commissioning scheduled for mid-2027.
This deal holds strategic significance for both companies involved. For Vestas, it marks a return to active project engagement in Bulgaria, where it has operated since 2007 and has contributed over 360 MW of installed capacity. Meanwhile, Tessa Green Energy views this partnership as an opportunity to solidify its position within the renewable energy market and facilitate regional expansion.
