Renewables and storage in SEE: Between ambition, reality and the question of who truly joins Europe’s green energy future

Europe has already crossed a strategic threshold. Renewables are no longer an experimental transition concept; they are the backbone of its emerging power system. Wind, solar and hydropower are structurally rewriting electricity economics. Storage is shifting from a niche support function into an essential strategic pillar. Flexibility has become capital. Stability now depends not on […]

Greece to revise renewable energy spatial planning to prioritize wind potential and streamline development

Greece is set to revamp the spatial planning of renewable energy projects, with updated rules for siting installations expected to take shape over the next year. The Ministry of Environment and Energy is finalizing the criteria that will form the backbone of a revised Special Spatial Planning framework for renewable energy sources. Officials plan to

European solar and wind energy trends: Mixed performance across key markets in mid-December

During the week of December 15, solar photovoltaic (PV) energy production declined across most major European electricity markets compared to the previous week. The Italian market experienced the steepest drop, falling by 41%, followed by the French and Spanish markets with decreases of 26% and 19%, respectively. The Portuguese market saw the smallest reduction at

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Republic of Srpska reopens Trusina wind farm project talks with Kermas Energija

The Government of the Republic of Srpska (RS) has committed to reopening the path for Kermas Energija to develop the Trusina wind farm, reversing its earlier decision to terminate the concession agreement for the project. The move was confirmed following a Government session at which approval was given for a new framework of cooperation. As

Europe’s variable power system: How wind, solar and nuclear reshaped electricity flows from the EU core to southeast Europe

For most of the past half-century, Europe’s electricity system could be understood through a relatively simple lens. Power was generated close to where it was consumed, national systems were planned around predictable baseload plants, and cross-border flows played a supporting role rather than defining market outcomes. Electricity prices reflected domestic generation costs, demand patterns were

Romania: Greenvolt to sell 253 MW Ialomița wind farm to Engie

A wind project in southeastern Romania is set to change ownership as Portuguese renewable energy group Greenvolt moves forward with another project divestment. The company has agreed to transfer a 253.1 MW wind farm under development to French energy giant Engie, continuing its strategy of selling mature assets while retaining a development focus. The project,

Europe: EU renewable energy hits nearly 50% of electricity production as solar and wind lead growth

Nearly half of the electricity produced across the European Union now comes from renewable sources, marking another step forward in the bloc’s energy transition. During the third quarter of 2025, clean energy accounted for 49.3% of net electricity generation, improving on the 47.5% recorded in the same period last year, according to Eurostat data. The

Wind as a volatility amplifier: How interdependence turns forecast error into regional price shocks

Wind power occupies a fundamentally different position in the South-East Europe electricity system than solar, and it is often misunderstood for that reason. While solar reshapes prices in a predictable intraday pattern, wind introduces discontinuity. Its defining characteristic is not abundance or cheap energy, but uncertainty. In a coupled regional system, that uncertainty does not
