Renewable energy company Sunotec has signed a strategic agreement with energy storage specialist Sungrow to deploy 2.4 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across multiple solar power projects in Europe, with a primary focus on Bulgaria.
The collaboration will support several large-scale solar developments, some of which will receive funding through Bulgaria’s national RESTORE programme aimed at enhancing renewable infrastructure and energy security.
“The global energy transition depends not only on how much renewable power we produce, but on how intelligently we manage and store it,” said Kaloyan Velichkov, founder and chief executive of Sunotec. “This partnership with Sungrow reflects our shared ambition to lead the next chapter of clean energy – by building resilient, storage-enabled infrastructure that brings stability, sustainability, and scale to markets across Europe and beyond.”
The deployment of 2.4GWh of energy storage is expected to enhance grid stability and improve the reliability of solar parks built by Sunotec in Bulgaria and other European countries.
Sungrow, a China-based provider of inverter and storage technologies, will supply the energy storage systems for the projects. “This collaboration with Sunotec is a cornerstone of our mission to accelerate clean energy deployment in Bulgaria and across Europe,” said Anastasios Gkinis, regional director at Sungrow.Combining Sungrow’s cutting-edge energy storage technology with Sunotec’s execution excellence, we create a powerful force to redefine the energy landscape in Bulgaria and support the region’s transition to a sustainable energy future.
The agreement underscores growing momentum in integrating storage solutions with renewable power generation across Europe, particularly in regions seeking to enhance energy resilience and meet long-term climate targets.
