The cheapest and most expensive days on record
Across 3,655 days of records for Bulgaria, going back to 1 November 2016, the cheapest day averaged €4.88/MWh on 24 May 2020 and the most expensive €824.37/MWh on 22 December 2021 — €819.49 apart.
How prices have changed over a year
Over the last 30 days Bulgaria averaged €262.30/MWh. The same 30 days a year earlier averaged €122.92/MWh — €139.39 more.
The comparison is against the same weeks a year earlier rather than the previous month, because electricity is seasonal: measuring September against August would measure the calendar rather than the market.
About this market
Bulgaria trades on IBEX and sits in the upper third of European prices, averaging €108/MWh since 2024. It is one of the few Balkan markets where prices go below zero at all — about one day in eleven — which is what coupling with a solar-heavy neighbourhood looks like from the inside.
