Cross-border electricity flows in South-East Europe in 2026: Congestion, arbitrage and the real price of geography

Cross-border electricity flows are the hidden engine of price formation in South-East Europe. While power exchanges provide the visible price signal, it is interconnector availability, congestion patterns and directional flow economics that determine whether those prices converge or fragment. By early 2026, SEE no longer behaves as a collection of isolated national markets, but neither […]

Electricity trading in South-East Europe in January 2026: Volumes recover, export hubs dominate, traders monetise volatility

January 2026 confirmed that South-East Europe’s electricity markets have entered a structurally different phase from the crisis years of 2022–2024. Prices remained elevated by historical standards, but the defining change was the return of tradable liquidity. Volumes increased, cross-border flows intensified, and professional trading activity reasserted itself across organised exchanges and interconnector corridors. The region

Power systems digital engineering and grid intelligence: How Serbia is becoming Europe’s execution backbone

Europe’s electricity system is entering a phase where engineering capacity, not capital or political will, has become the primary constraint. Across the continent, transmission and distribution operators are under pressure to connect unprecedented volumes of renewables, reinforce aging grids, integrate flexibility, and comply with increasingly complex regulatory requirements. The common bottleneck is no longer financing or

Serbia as Europe’s energy shock absorber: How South-East Europe carries the burden of the core markets

Europe’s energy transition is entering a phase where ambition, capital and policy alignment are no longer the binding constraints. The limiting factor has become execution. Across power generation, grids, storage and flexibility assets, the physical act of delivering projects on time and at predictable cost has turned into the system’s weakest link. In this new

Applied energy engineering: The missing near-sourcing link in Europe

Applied energy engineering completes the near-sourcing picture for Europe’s energy transition, filling a structural gap that hardware manufacturing, raw-materials access and capital mobilisation alone cannot resolve. While policy debate and investment narratives focus on turbines, transformers, batteries and grids, the limiting factor increasingly sits upstream in the delivery chain. Europe’s transition is engineering-intensive, yet engineering capacity

Industrial cybersecurity engineering (OT / SCADA): Why Serbia is becoming Europe’s defensive execution layer

Industrial cybersecurity has moved decisively out of the IT department and into the operational core of Europe’s energy and industrial systems. Power grids, substations, pipelines, refineries, water systems, rail networks and factories now depend on operational technology (OT) and SCADA environments that were never designed for hostile digital environments. As connectivity increases, so does exposure. Regulators, insurers and system

SEE as Europe’s energy shock absorber in a high-volatility decade

Europe’s energy transition is entering its most fragile phase. The period ahead is no longer defined by whether decarbonisation is desirable, financed or technically feasible. It is defined by whether it can be executed at scale under conditions of rising volatility. Power systems are being re-engineered while they remain in operation. Grid reinforcement, renewable deployment,

Applied energy engineering moves South-East: How SEE de-bottlenecks Europe’s energy transition

Europe’s energy transition is widely discussed as a capital challenge, a regulatory challenge or a political challenge. In practice, it is increasingly an engineering-capacity challenge. As power systems become more complex, digitised and interconnected, the volume of applied engineering required to move projects from concept to operation has expanded faster than the supply of qualified

Energy storage follows execution capacity: Why South-East Europe is becoming Europe’s balance-of-plant hub

Energy storage has moved from the margins of Europe’s energy system to its centre. Batteries are no longer pilot assets designed to demonstrate technical feasibility. They are now financial instruments, grid-stability tools and strategic infrastructure rolled into one. As storage deployment accelerates, the constraint is no longer whether batteries work or whether markets exist for

South-East Europe as Europe’s grid workshop: Why substations, switchgear and prefabrication are migrating South-East

Europe’s energy transition is grid-limited. This is no longer a warning; it is a defining condition. Across the continent, renewable capacity is outpacing the physical ability of transmission and distribution systems to absorb it. Congestion, curtailment, redispatch and delayed connections are no longer exceptional events but structural features of the system. In this environment, the
