Financing wind in Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia and Romania — why international lenders are returning to Southeast Europe

The landscape of renewable finance in Southeast Europe has undergone a profound transformation. A decade ago, lenders viewed the region with a degree of caution, shaped by fluctuating regulatory frameworks, limited track records, and the perceived fragility of local institutions. Today, that caution is rapidly giving way to renewed engagement. International banks, development finance institutions,

How Southeast Europe’s grid bottlenecks will reshape project valuation, offtake strategy and EPC designs by 2030

Wind development in Southeast Europe is accelerating at a pace unimaginable only a decade ago, yet the region’s grid infrastructure is straining under the weight of its own renewable ambition. Serbia is preparing for multi-gigawatt expansion, Romania is restarting large-scale auctions, Croatia is advancing hybrid strategies, and Montenegro is positioning itself as a clean-energy exporter.

Serbia–Romania–Croatia: The new triangular wind corridor — is Southeast Europe becoming Europe’s next Iberia?

For years, the Iberian Peninsula defined what a wind powerhouse looked like inside Europe: strong resource, open land, grid-ready corridors, competitive auctions, and the steady inflow of international capital. Investors seeking scale, yield, and policy clarity migrated naturally towards Spain and Portugal, understanding that the convergence of wind conditions and regulatory modernization made Iberia the

The bankability gap in Southeast European wind projects — why quality engineering determines cashflow

The transformation of Southeast Europe into a credible wind-investment region has been rapid, but beneath the surface lies an uncomfortable truth that every serious investor eventually confronts. The real bankability gap in Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Romania is not created by permitting delays, auction schedules, or tariff structures. Those are variables investors can price and

Regional gas geopolitics: Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia in the new European gas map

The transformation of Europe’s gas landscape is redrawing the political and commercial map of Southeast Europe. In the span of just a few years, the region has shifted from a single-supplier, pipeline-dominated system to a multi-entry, LNG-influenced, competition-driven gas architecture. This transformation has profound implications for Serbia, a country positioned between Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania—three

Hydrogen-readiness and the role of decarbonised gases in Serbia’s future energy mix

Hydrogen has moved from a speculative technology to a central pillar of Europe’s long-term decarbonisation framework. For Serbia, the question is no longer whether hydrogen will play a role in the energy transition, but how quickly and at what scale the country can adapt its infrastructure, regulatory environment and industrial strategy to integrate decarbonised gases.

Gas-to-power and the balancing future of Serbia’s electricity system

As Serbia accelerates its shift toward renewable energy, natural gas is becoming a decisive factor in stabilising a system where wind, solar and hydropower interact with unpredictable patterns. Gas-to-power capacity—flexible gas-fired power plants capable of rapid ramping—will determine how smoothly Serbia can transition away from coal while ensuring system reliability. In a region where electricity
