Will Bulgaria meet its renewable energy targets?

To meet EU specifications, Bulgaria must ensure that the share of energy generated from wind, solar and other green sources will reach 16% of the country's gross final energy consumption by 2020.

The technical potential is sufficient, the country insists in its National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP), finalised in late June 2010.
The authorities have introduced various incentives, including preferential prices, priority connection of producers of electricity from RES to the power grid and obligatory purchase of electricity from such sources, to attract green energy investments.
However experts recently voiced doubts that the incentives are sufficient and that the country’s aging infrastructure is jeopardizing growth in this sector.
