Slovenia: Electricity production drops in 2025 as hydropower and thermal output decline

Electricity production from Slovenia’s major river-based hydropower plants fell sharply in 2025, reflecting less favorable hydrological conditions compared to 2024. Plants on the Drava, Sava, and Soca rivers delivered just over 3.8 TWh to the transmission network, a decline of almost 25% from the previous year, which had been exceptionally strong. Despite the drop, actual […]

Behind the kilowatts: The real economics of developing wind and solar in Serbia

Renewable energy development in Serbia has reached a stage where enthusiasm alone is no longer enough. Investors who once believed that solar could be built simply by acquiring land and signing EPC contracts have learned that the economics of development are far more complex. Wind developers who assumed that early resource assessments guaranteed long-term bankability
