Bulgarian citizens made their demands known in a demonstration in favour of decentralizing and restructuring the energy system. They campaigned for the introduction of prosumerism and net metering, as well as virtual net metering, in line with the country’s legal framework and expressed their concerns regarding the excessive use of fossil fuels and inadequate opportunities for a potential transition toward sustainable energy. They additionally presented their intent to utilize hydroelectric energy in coastal cities. The campaign was initiated thanks to the arrival of Greenpeace’s “Rainbow Warrior” and was supported by representatives of small businesses, members of renewable energy associations, and volunteers from Greenpeace itself.
