Key facts
Over 50% of the installed capacity in Bulgaria is RES
RES provide at least 20% of energy consumption
The market is more dynamic than ever, prices - unpredictable
The energy sector in Bulgaria is changing rapidly, creating new opportunities. More than half of the installed capacity in the country comes from RES plants, which cover at least 20% of current electricity consumption. The market is becoming increasingly dynamic, and prices - ever more unpredictable.
In this new reality, businesses that consume energy and those that produce it are seeking a smarter, more sustainable, and more predictable way to participate in the energy market.
That is exactly that TOKI offers. We are not just an electricity trader - we create new models that connect businesses and renewable energy producers with terms that are transparent, efficient, and future-focused.
Why is this important?
The current standard practice is for companies to buy and sell electricity on a market basis - most often according to the “Day Ahead” segment price on IBEX. However, exchange prices change every hour and vary significantly. In the first quarter of 2025, the difference between the lowest and highest electricity prices in the “Day Ahead” segment exceeded 2,660% - ranging from -46.02 BGN/MWh to 1,179.95 BGN/MWh. Such price volatility makes long-term planning nearly impossible.
The “Shared Energy” model is the perfect alternative—stable, long-term, and focused on sustainable development.
What is ''Shared Energy''?
„Shared Energy" is a long-term contract (type PPA) between three or more parties.
The model allows the energy from a single renewable power plant to be “shared” directly with one or several businesses, instead of being traded through an intermediary. TOKI manages the balancing and alignment of the generated energy with the consumption profile.
The greatest advantage of the “Share Energy” model is independence from the volatility of electricity exchange prices, thanks to a long-term fixed electricity price agreed directly between the parties.
Business benefits
Predictability with a fixed price
In this new reality, businesses that consume energy and those that produce it are seeking a smarter, more sustainable, and more predictable way to participate in the energy market.
Shared resources for greater efficiency
A single renewable energy producer can supply multiple consumers, reducing losses and increasing the efficiency of the deal for all parties involved.
Smart surplus and shortage management
TOKI sells any unused energy and provides additional supply when needed - all within the same contract.
Who can benefit from this model?
“Shared energy” is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with high energy consumption, as well as for organizations focused on sustainability and environmental responsibility.
The model opens up the possibility of direct access to renewable energy for companies that have so far not been able to benefit from the advantages of PPAs due to the complexity of the deals and the need for long-term planning when concluding them.
Thanks to the active role of TOCI as coordinator and administrator of the process, ''Shared energy" offers significantly simplified conditions and does not require consumers or producers to manage the technical or market aspects of the transaction. All of this makes it a great fit for companies looking for an efficient but casual solution to power supply.
What TOKI provides
As the coordinating party, TOKI assumes the overall management of the transaction:
1. Selection of a reliable manufacturer according to the specific consumption of the business
2. Structuring and administration of the contract
3. Balancing the energy produced
4. Selling the surplus and supplying additional energy when there is a shortage for the consumer
5. Access to an online production and consumption monitoring platform
Use case
Plovdiv Plaza Mall is the first major user to choose the “Shared energy” model. Thanks to the deal with Krisola, the mall has managed to reduce its monthly electricity costs by up to BGN 30,000. The good results have prompted the managers, with the help of TOKI experts, to look for other innovative approaches to ensure more stability in their electricity costs and improve the sustainability profile of their business.
