Efforts to transport natural gas to Ukraine via the Vertical Gas Corridor faced a setback after all three capacity auctions for January concluded without a single bidder. This outcome raises fresh doubts about the commercial readiness of the corridor and its ability to compete with alternative supply routes. The auctions, held simultaneously, covered three distinct […]
During Week 51 of 2025, Dutch gas prices posted modest gains, but the market is largely expected to trade sideways, as rising demand from colder weather can be easily met by both pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) deliveries. TTF gas futures on the ICE market for January 2026 delivery traded higher compared to Week
During Week 51 of 2025, electricity prices across Southeast Europe (SEE) rose sharply, registering double-digit increases in all markets except Italy and Türkiye. The surge was attributed to higher electricity demand and slightly elevated TTF gas futures compared to the previous week. Most SEE markets posted daily prices above €100/MWh, except Türkiye, resulting in a

Srbijagas has been one of Serbia’s most critical state energy companies in recent years — surrounded by vast promises, political declarations, strategic ambitions and public expectations. It promised financial reform, transparency, infrastructure expansion, supply security, diversification, development of gas power generation and transformation into a modern, EU-aligned market entity. The real outcome sits between achievement

Serbia’s energy system rests on three powerful institutions: EMS, EPS and Srbijagas. Together, they are not merely companies. They are infrastructure, macroeconomics, social stability, development policy, geopolitical positioning and a long-term national security instrument. EMS keeps the heart beating by ensuring power stays flowing through the veins of the country. EPS produces the electricity that

Today, nuclear energy is often mentioned in Serbia as if it were a simple technical solution to our energy challenges. In public debate it is presented almost like an infrastructure procurement issue: build a plant, secure electricity, problem solved. It is a state strategy spanning at least three decades, demanding knowledge, trained people, institutions, planning
Balancing in Southeast Europe today is an uneasy choreography. Hydro reservoirs rise and fall with unpredictable weather. Wind output swings quickly with pressure systems. Solar rises predictably in shape but not always in absolute production due to seasonal and meteorological variation. Coal provides inertia but increasingly struggles with emissions costs, regulatory tightening and aging infrastructure.

If Serbia proceeds toward nuclear power, it will not simply be building a power plant. It will be inserting a structural force into the heart of the Southeast European electricity system, altering market psychology, regional trade dynamics, balancing requirements, grid planning priorities, and even political leverage embedded inside electricity exchanges. For a region traditionally defined
