Wind power generated 2% of electricity in Bulgaria in 2023. By the end of 2020 almost 1 GW of onshore wind power had been installed. It has been estimated that there is potential for at least another 2 GW by 2030. The total wind power grid-connected capacity in Bulgaria was 702 MW as of 2023.

An energy island in the Black Sea has been suggested for joint development with wind power in Romania.
