In 2025 nuclear energy remains the single most reliable anchor of baseload stability in South-East Europe. While solar and wind are rapidly reshaping the regional power profile, nuclear is what quietly keeps frequency stable, dampens volatility, underpins export surpluses in key systems and protects national balances from fuel price shocks. It is not expanding everywhere, […]
By 2025 wind power has become the quiet stabiliser of the South-East European electricity system. Unlike solar, which floods the grid in predictable daylight waves and collapses at sunset, wind delivers energy across the full 24-hour cycle, smooths residual demand, strengthens export capacity in key markets and materially reduces fuel and carbon exposure. It does
By 2025 solar photovoltaic generation has firmly graduated from niche to structural in the South-East European energy mix. Across the region, PV now produces measurable terawatt-hour volumes, depresses midday prices, reshapes import/export saldos and dramatically increases the need for balancing energy as grids adjust to steeper intraday swings. The story is not uniform by country,
Serbia enters 2026 with expanded renewable energy portfolio and growing wind capacity Read More »
As 2025 comes to a close, Serbia is entering the new year with a significantly expanded portfolio of renewable energy assets connected to its electricity system. The country’s total installed green capacity now stands at 3,683.4 MW, reflecting several key additions completed in the final weeks of the year. Wind energy led the year-end growth.
US grants NIS temporary operating license, easing Serbia’s fuel supply pressure Read More »
Serbian oil company NIS has gained short-term relief after US authorities granted permission for the company to continue operating until 23 January, easing immediate pressure on the country’s fuel supply chain. The authorization allows the Pančevo refinery to resume activity following weeks of disruption caused by sanctions-related constraints. The temporary approval is closely tied to
Serbia advances oil supply diversification with new Hungary–Novi Sad pipeline tender Read More »
Serbia has taken a concrete step to diversify its crude oil supply routes with the launch of a public tender for a new cross-border pipeline connecting Hungary to Novi Sad. The procurement, opened by state-owned pipeline operator Transnafta, covers both construction works and technical supervision for the project. The proposed pipeline is considered a strategic
Plans for a large-scale solar power plant near Nikšić have reached a major regulatory milestone, as project documentation has entered the environmental approval process. The Environmental Protection Agency confirmed that an environmental impact assessment has been formally submitted for the Tupan solar power plant. The proposed facility is designed with a capacity of 90 MW
In 2025, Greece solidified its position as a regional electricity supplier, with cross-border flows shifting sharply in favor of exports, according to data from the national energy regulator. Net electricity exports soared to 2,671 GWh, a dramatic increase from just 307 GWh recorded in 2024. The figures confirm that the positive export trend observed in
Croatia: Krk LNG terminal emerges as regional gas hub after major capacity upgrade Read More »
Over the past five years, the LNG terminal in Omišalj on the island of Krk has become a key pillar of gas supply security for Croatia and the wider region. Since entering operation, the facility has handled 18.8 million cubic meters of liquefied natural gas, delivering more than 11.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas
