Bulgaria’s electricity production increased in June while domestic power consumption declined, widening the gap between generation and demand as the country entered the summer period.
Electricity output rose 3.4% from May to 3,162 GWh, while consumption fell by the same percentage to 2,466 GWh. Compared with June 2025, electricity production was 4.6% higher, while consumption increased 2.6%.
Natural gas consumption showed a considerably sharper monthly decline, falling 34.1% to 143 million cubic metres. Domestic gas production remained marginal at around 1 million cubic metres.
The figures underline Bulgaria’s relatively strong power-generation position within southeast Europe, where the country regularly has surplus electricity available for neighbouring markets.
Petroleum-product data were more mixed. Production of unleaded petrol increased 3.1% to 131,000 tonnes, while domestic consumption declined 8.6% to 53,000 tonnes. Diesel production edged 0.8% higher to 255,000 tonnes, against consumption of 232,000 tonnes, down 1.7%.
LPG consumption rose 12.5% to 36,000 tonnes, while production increased 14.3% to 8,000 tonnes. Solid-fuel production climbed 12.2% to 936,000 tonnes, with consumption increasing 14.7% to 1.014 million tonnes.
