Greece: Wind energy sector rebounds in 2025 amid renewed investment

After a challenging 2024, Greece’s wind energy sector returned to a more stable growth path in 2025, with new capacity additions broadly aligning with the average pace seen over the past decade. Industry data indicate that investment activity picked up again, signaling a recovery for one of the country’s key renewable technologies. According to figures […]

Europe: Solar and wind output shows mixed trends in mid-January

During the third week of January, solar photovoltaic (PV) energy production increased in the German and Italian markets compared to the previous week. The German market saw the largest rise, 77%, following two weeks of declines, while the Italian market recorded a 7.1% increase. In contrast, production declined in the Iberian Peninsula and French markets.

Romania: Verbund Green Power expands European wind pipeline through long-term Nordex partnership

Verbund Green Power has taken a major step toward scaling up its European wind portfolio by formalizing a long-term cooperation with the Nordex Group, establishing a framework that could support the delivery of up to 700 MW of new onshore wind capacity through the remainder of the decade. The agreement outlines the conditions under which

Romania: Eurowind Energy launches first hybrid wind-solar project

Danish developer Eurowind Energy is set to expand Romania’s renewable energy landscape with its first hybrid installation in the country. The planned facility, named Siminoc, will combine wind turbines and solar panels on a single site, with a total capacity of just under 50 MW, evenly split between the two technologies. The project will be

Wind as Serbia’s CBAM backbone: Why solar-heavy decarbonisation fails industrial buyers

Serbia’s response to the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is quietly drifting toward a solar-heavy narrative. This is understandable. Solar is modular, politically visible, quick to announce, and easy to frame in megawatts. But for CBAM-exposed industrial buyers, this approach is structurally flawed. It confuses installed capacity with delivered value and mistakes headline decarbonisation optics

Serbia: Onshore wind platform shows stronger IRR resilience and lower grid stress than solar at scale

A 400–600 MW onshore wind portfolio in Serbia behaves fundamentally differently from a solar-dominated build-out once projects reach system-material size. The difference is not cosmetic or theoretical. It shows up directly in annual generation stability, capture prices, curtailment behavior, and—most importantly for investors—equity IRR resilience under grid stress and delays. Wind’s advantage begins with physics.

Romania: Hidroelectrica accelerates first large-scale battery storage at Crucea Nord wind farm

Romania’s electricity producer Hidroelectrica is set to commission its first major battery storage facility ahead of schedule. The 72 MWh lithium-ion energy storage system (BESS) at the Crucea Nord wind farm is now expected to become operational in May 2026, nearly one year earlier than originally planned. By early 2026, the project had already reached

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Controversial 537.5 MW Leotar wind project moves forward amid corruption concerns

Plans for a major wind project on Mount Leotar above Trebinje are moving forward after Zhongbo Group submitted a request for a preliminary environmental impact assessment to the Ministry for Spatial Planning, Construction and Ecology of the Republic of Srpska (RS). The project, now named Leotar and previously known as Trebinje 1, is designed with

Romania: Vacareni wind farm secures €100 million financing to advance 102 MW project

A new utility-scale wind project in Romania has reached a major financial milestone, with developers securing a substantial €100 million project finance package to support the construction and operation of the Vacareni wind farm. The project is being developed by BIG MEGA Renewable Energy, a joint venture between BIG Shopping Centers and MEGA OR Holdings.

Albania approves 600 MW wind farm in Tropoje as part of €1.1 billion regional renewables push

Albania has taken a major step forward in renewable energy development after the government officially approved a 600 MW wind farm near the northern town of Tropoje. The project will be developed by CWP Europe, marking one of the largest wind investments ever announced in the country. Authorities have outlined an ambitious schedule, with construction
