, 2026, the 500 MWh stand-alone battery energy storage system (BESS) project at Maritsa East 3 Power Plant in Bulgaria was officially put into operation.

The project, co-constructed by BYD Energy Storage and ContourGlobal, is one of the largest independent energy storage projects in Eastern Europe. This is also the largest energy storage project of BYD Energy Storage in Eastern Europe so far, which fully demonstrates the technical strength and global expansion of BYD Energy Storage. Since the signing of the cooperation agreement in December 2024, BYD Energy Storage has relied on its own technological advantages and combined with ContourGlobal's strong industry influence to jointly promote the landing of the project, laying a solid foundation for establishing a long-term partnership, further exploring the European market and enhancing its brand influence in the field of new energy in Eastern Europe.

BYD Energy Storage was invited by Antonio Cammisecra, CEO of ContourGlobal, to attend the project commissioning and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The successful operation of this project reflects the vision of both sides to jointly promote the transformation of traditional energy systems to future-oriented and sustainable power systems. BYD Energy Storage will work hand in hand with its partners to build a sustainable energy future for Eastern Europe.
