Renalfa IPP Completes Repowering of Kaolinovo Solar Park in Bulgaria

Renalfa IPP has completed the repowering of its Kaolinovo photovoltaic (PV) park in Northeast Bulgaria, which is now fully operational.

Originally commissioned in 2012 with a capacity of 10 MWp, the Kaolinovo project has been expanded to an installed capacity of 33 MWp and now includes a co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) with 33 MW/110 MWh capacity.

The project’s EPC contractor and manager was Solarpro Bulgaria.

Renalfa IPP — a joint venture between Vienna-based Renalfa Solarpro Group and French renewable infrastructure fund manager RGREEN INVEST — is a leading investor and developer of renewable energy assets across Central and Eastern Europe. The company currently operates over 554 MW of generation assets and 455 MW/1008 MWh of implemented BESS, with 1 GW under construction and another 1 GW in late-stage development across Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia.

Renalfa IPP is among the few global players with more than 1 GWh of operational battery storage in its portfolio, underscoring its position as a pioneer in integrated renewable and energy storage solutions.
