Electricity exports and CBAM in South-East Europe: Measured impacts, verification processes and investment risks in Serbia

The application of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism to electricity imports from South-East Europe introduces a quantifiable financial and structural risk to the region’s power sector precisely at the point when large-scale capital deployment is required for decarbonisation and grid integration. In Serbia, electricity is not only a domestic utility service but a traded commodity […]

CBAM cost exposure and compliance execution in EU–Serbia industrial supply chains

For EU industrial groups with Serbian subsidiaries, CBAM cannot be managed as a peripheral customs compliance task. It requires a group-level execution architecture that clearly allocates responsibility, controls data quality at source, and shields the importing entity from avoidable carbon cost inflation. The core principle is simple: CBAM risk must be governed where emissions are generated, not where

CBAM impact on Serbian industrial exports – implications for EU importers and EU-owned local operations

The full financial application of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism from 2026 transforms Serbia’s role in European industrial supply chains. For EU industrial groups importing carbon-intensive products from Serbia, or producing inside Serbia through local subsidiaries and exporting back into the Union, CBAM is no longer a distant regulatory concept. It becomes a measurable, auditable, and recurring

Independent technical preparation as a capacity multiplier for EU CBAM verifiers

Independent technical preparation supporting EU-accredited verifiers, EU importers, and non-EU exporters is increasingly becoming a structural enabler of CBAM delivery rather than a peripheral service. As verification volumes rise and the geographical footprint of CBAM installations expands beyond the EU, verifiers are confronting a practical constraint that accreditation alone does not solve: the absence of

Engineering services as strategic infrastructure: How EU accession, banking discipline and private capital are re-shaping Serbia’s engineering economy

Engineering-related business services sit at the core of Serbia’s EU-accession economy, yet they remain structurally under-analysed because they do not present themselves as a headline sector. They do not dominate GDP tables, they do not absorb large volumes of bank credit, and they do not announce billion-euro projects under their own name. And yet, by

Serbia power sector investment briefing: CAPEX pipeline, grid stress and return sensitivity

From an investor perspective, Serbia’s power sector presents scale and growth potential, but also a layered risk profile shaped by legacy infrastructure, evolving market rules and system constraints. Total installed renewable capacity has reached approximately 3.9 GW, reflecting a 22 percent year-on-year increase and a 36 percent expansion over the past decade. Achieving the 45 percent renewable electricity share by

Serbia energy sector and EU accession: Market reform, system constraints and credibility tests

Energy has become one of the most strategically sensitive components of Serbia’s EU accession process, not because of legislative transposition alone, but because electricity markets now function as a real-world test of regulatory discipline, institutional independence and economic resilience. Chapters related to energy, competition, climate policy and state aid converge in the power sector, making

Serbia sees strong renewable growth while strengthening gas and oil infrastructure

Serbia recorded a strong surge in wind and solar power last year, with combined capacity rising 45% to 1.14 GW, according to the Ministry of Mining and Energy. This growth is expected to continue in 2026, with roughly 240 MW of additional renewable capacity forecast to come online. Between December 2024 and November 2025, Serbia’s

Serbia moves to fast-track SMRs as power demand rises and coal generation declines

Serbia is preparing emergency legal amendments to enable the construction of small modular reactors (SMRs), as rising electricity consumption and weakening domestic generation raise concerns at the highest political level. The announcement was made during a government session, where President Aleksandar Vučić warned that the national electricity system is approaching a critical threshold. Two parallel

The deal comes as US authorities temporarily extended special operating permissions for NIS, which remains under sanctions due to its Russian ownership structure.
