This study assesses the technical and economic potential of the Bulgarian Exclusive Economic Zone in the Black Sea identifying favorable deployment areas for offshore wind power generation. The data demonstrates that 26 GW out of total 116 GW technically feasible capacity could be utilized in shallow waters by mature bottom-fix technology concept with capacity factors in the range of 40 – 48 per cent. Even if a fraction of this threshold could be harnessed, offshore wind could play a transformational role in meeting and exceeding the 2030 national renewable energy targets. It would contribute to the establishment of a regional value chain part of a completely new industrial profile for the country in line with the goals for a low-carbon Europe in the European Green Deal. Based on expert interviews and desk research, the study discusses the main obstacles to the utilization of offshore wind energy and formulates recommendations for future policy actions. The analysis touches upon important pre-conditions such as availability of supporting infrastructure, regional cooperation, and the coexistence between offshore wind energy and all the other ecological, economic, and societal interests.
