Why Serbia’s grid reliability is becoming systemic for the Western Balkans

Serbia’s electricity system is no longer defined primarily by its ability to satisfy domestic demand. Over the last decade, and increasingly visible in ENTSO-E seasonal adequacy assessments, Serbia has evolved into a systemic grid node whose operational stability materially affects outcomes across the Western Balkans and adjacent EU markets. This shift is not the result of a […]

Grid delays as a hidden CBAM tax: How 18 months can quietly wipe out Serbia’s export margins

In Serbia’s debate on CBAM exposure, grid infrastructure is still treated as a background constraint—important, but secondary. That framing is dangerously wrong. For CBAM-exposed exporters, grid delays function as an unlegislated carbon tax, imposed not by Brussels but by physics, timing, and procurement logic. Unlike formal CBAM charges, this tax does not appear on invoices.

Wind and solar vs. baseload and balancing in Serbia: A system under tension

Serbia’s energy system is entering a structural contradiction: it is simultaneously adding large volumes of intermittent renewable generation while still relying on an ageing baseload fleet designed for a different century’s operating principles. The clash between wind and solar variability on one side and the inertia-heavy, slow-ramping baseload infrastructure on the other defines every technical,

The grid under strain: How EMS warnings signal a new era of congestion in Serbia’s electricity system

Serbia is entering an energy decade unlike any it has experienced since the post-Yugoslav restructuring of its power sector. But while most public attention focuses on the role of coal, the rise of renewables or the political weight of nuclear ambitions, the real hinge of Serbia’s energy future lies elsewhere — inside the steel corridors

The Balkan grid at a turning point: How cross-border capacities shape the winter 2025–26 electricity market

As winter settles across South-East Europe, the region’s electricity landscape enters a season shaped not by crisis but by structural interdependence. December 2025 finds the Balkan and Central-European power systems operating under a degree of cross-border coordination once unimaginable. The frantic volatility of 2022 has faded into the background; in its place stands a calmer

Grid or no grid? The hidden bottleneck that will decide Serbia’s renewable future

In every renewable market, there comes a moment when enthusiasm for new capacity hits a structural wall. For Serbia, that wall is the electrical grid. Generation potential is abundant, investor appetite is stronger than ever, and commercial interest in green electricity continues to rise. But all of this is ultimately irrelevant if the grid cannot

Transelectrica launches major projects to strengthen Romania–Moldova power interconnection

Romanian electricity transmission system operator Transelectrica has launched two major infrastructure projects to strengthen the national grid and enhance interconnection with neighboring Moldova. The initiatives include the 400 kV Gadalin-Suceava overhead transmission line and the 400 kV Suceava-Balti interconnection line. Both projects are crucial for completing the 400 kV transmission loop in northern Romania, which

Romania: Plose solar power plant connected to national grid, boosting renewable capacity

The Plose solar power plant in Calarasi County has been officially connected to Romania’s national electricity grid, marking a significant step in the country’s renewable energy development. The project was developed by Alerion Clean Power and constructed by Parapet, representing a total investment of 26.8 million euros, including an 18.5 million euro loan from BCR

North Macedonia temporarily disconnects solar power plants to maintain grid stability during May Day holidays

During the May Day holidays, solar power plants in North Macedonia were temporarily disconnected from the national electricity grid to ensure the stability and safety of the power supply. This decision followed an emergency meeting of relevant authorities, prompted by a recent blackout in Spain and Portugal, where renewable energy sources, including solar power, were
