Bulgaria will receive €65.2 million from the EU for a project to reinforce the electricity grid to better support the integration of renewable energy, the European Commission said in a statement.

The fund aims to help 13 low-income countries in the EU, including Bulgaria, in their transition to climate neutrality.
