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

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

Serbia: Chinese manufacturer to deliver turbines for largest-ever wind farm project in Eastern Europe

Chinese wind-turbine manufacturer Dongfang Wind Power has signed a contract to deliver 48 wind turbines for a 300 MW wind power project in Serbia, with a total investment value of €495 million. The project is set to become the largest wind farm in Serbia and across Eastern Europe, positioning the country among the region’s leading renewable-energy markets. The wind farm,

Europe’s renewable surge: Spain and Italy set new January records as solar and wind trends diverge

During the week of January 5, solar photovoltaic production increased strongly in the Iberian Peninsula, while most central European markets recorded declines. Spain showed the largest growth, with production rising by 39%, whereas Portugal followed with a more moderate increase of 16%. In contrast, Italy, Germany and France all experienced downturns in output. After two

Wind repowering opportunities in Southeast Europe

By 2025, wind repowering emerged as one of the most quietly attractive investment opportunities in Southeast Europe. While public attention remained focused on new-build capacity, the region’s first generation of utility-scale wind farms—commissioned largely between 2010 and 2015—entered a phase where asset age, turbine efficiency and evolving market exposure began to materially affect performance. These assets are

Renewable energy producers in Serbia in 2025: Costs, cash flows and return dynamics 

Serbia’s renewable energy sector in 2025 stands at an inflection point: coming off years of modest growth, the sector has entered a phase of rapid capacity expansion, evolving ownership structures, and intensifying investment flows. Large-scale hydroelectric assets remain foundational to the country’s power mix, while wind and solar are emerging as the principal vehicles for new private

Bulgaria hits a renewable milestone: Solar, wind and hydro surpass coal in electricity generation

Bulgaria’s electricity sector reached a historic milestone in 2025, as renewable energy sources became the country’s second-largest producer of electricity, surpassed only by nuclear power. For the first time, combined generation from solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, and waste exceeded output from coal-fired plants, signaling that the energy transition has moved from concept to reality.
