In August 2024, the average wholesale electricity price in Bulgaria amounted to some 126 euros per megawatt-hour, an increase compared to the previous month. Electricity prices in the country grew steadily in 2021 and 2022, peaking at over 430 euros per megawatt-hour in August 2022.
In 2022, electricity prices soared throughout Europe, the consequence of an energy supply shortage that caused a rise in coal and natural gas prices worldwide. The issue was further aggravated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
