The physics of balance: How nuclear energy reshapes renewable power in the regional grid

Balancing in Southeast Europe today is an uneasy choreography. Hydro reservoirs rise and fall with unpredictable weather. Wind output swings quickly with pressure systems. Solar rises predictably in shape but not always in absolute production due to seasonal and meteorological variation. Coal provides inertia but increasingly struggles with emissions costs, regulatory tightening and aging infrastructure. […]

The Balkan position: Regional export chains under CBAM

The CBAM story is often framed as a national topic, but in reality it is regional. Southeastern Europe is economically intertwined, industrially interconnected and strategically positioned together relative to the European Union. Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece form a combined industrial corridor whose future competitiveness will be reshaped by

Power economics and the new industrial geography: Why Europe’s materials refining and processing are naturally outsourcing to Serbia

Power economics is now the decisive variable determining where Europe’s future materials refining and processing capacity will exist. Refining metals, manufacturing semi-fabricated products, processing battery materials, and managing advanced metallurgical chains are fundamentally energy operations. Electricity is not simply an input cost; it is the strategic determinant of competitiveness, investment confidence and long-term industrial anchoring.

Exporting to the EU in the CBAM era: Green energy certificates and the new trade reality

Green energy certificates and CBAM now sit at the heart of Europe’s industrial trade reality. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism was created not as a tariff instrument, but as a structural equaliser: Europe is decarbonising its industry under strict emissions pricing through the EU ETS, and CBAM ensures that imported products face a comparable carbon

Why strategic communication now shapes policy, capital and technology in Europe’s energy and industrial sectors — and why ElevatePR matters

Industrial Europe is entering a period defined not by incremental improvements, but by structural transformation. Energy systems are decarbonising under the combined forces of industrial policy, climate strategy and geopolitical competition. Production systems are electrifying, digitising and reorganising around efficiency, supply-chain security and sustainability. Capital is being redirected through green taxonomies, EU industrial policy instruments,

Copper over hype: How European investors rank critical minerals, and what it means for SEE and Serbia

European capital has returned to the mining conversation — but it has not returned blindly. Unlike previous commodity cycles driven by enthusiasm, retail speculation or thematic hype, Europe’s renewed engagement with minerals is structured, policy-aware and deeply strategic. European investors today do not simply ask which metal might perform well on spot markets. They ask

Oil & gas in SEE: Integration, exposure and Serbia’s central position in a region that can no longer pretend fossil risks are “national”

Electricity in South-East Europe has already become a shared risk ecosystem. Oil and gas are not far behind — they are simply at a more politically sensitive and strategically uncomfortable stage of recognition. For a long time, SEE countries managed hydrocarbons as largely national sovereignty domains: national gas strategies, national refinery issues, national storage, national

Cross-border electricity integration made SEE stronger — but it has also hardwired shared vulnerability, with Serbia at the centre of transmission risk

For more than a decade, the strategic ambition guiding South-East Europe’s electricity evolution has been clear: integrate, harmonise, align with European rules, deepen liquidity, strengthen competition and build a regional market architecture that supports stability, investment and security of supply. On paper, this strategy has worked. Market coupling initiatives advanced. SEEPEX evolved. Transmission interconnectors improved.

SEE renewables are expanding faster than stability — and Serbia now sits inside the volatility engine

South-East Europe is accelerating its renewable transition. Solar fields rise across Greece and Bulgaria, wind projects return to Romania’s agenda, battery pipelines begin appearing in policy documents, and Western Balkan governments increasingly wrap their industrial and geopolitical narratives in the language of decarbonisation. Looked at from a distance, the region appears to be moving decisively
