3.5.2 BULGARIA RENEWABLES
Renewable energy sources production in Bulgaria
experience a steady growth, during the last years,
reaching 18,000GWh/y in 2014, including use of
RES for power generation.
In 2014 the power generated by RES amounted to
187GWh/y, which represents 18,9% of the gross
electricity consumption in the country, while in
2010 it was 12,7%.
3.5.3 GREECE RENEWABLES
In Greece the renewables have an important share in power generation, about 11%
(2016), with hydropower being the most important.
The share of renewables in power generation is expected to reach 32% by 2027
and, according to the forecast, hydro, wind and solar will contribute most to this
increase. The difference between the historical value in 2016 and the forecasted
value in 2027 is 12,605 GWh which is more than 230%. If we compare this increase
with the difference between the historical and forecasted power generation figures
for Greece (Figure 3.14 and 3.15) it results that the renewables can provide the
additional power generation demand for the next 10 years.
