Europe’s grid build-out and the strategic repositioning of SEE’s power markets

The European Commission’s decision to accelerate and scale up Europe’s electricity grid expansion is not simply a technical upgrade programme. It is a structural market intervention whose consequences will be felt most sharply in peripheral but highly interconnected regions such as South-East Europe (SEE). While the stated objectives are lower energy prices, faster renewable integration […]

Stress-testing Serbia’s energy system: Technical shock scenarios, financial exposure and system-wide resilience limits

Serbia’s energy system sits at a structural crossroads. It combines large legacy baseload assets, growing renewable penetration, limited flexibility, and a transmission position that increasingly exposes it to regional volatility. Stress-testing the system is therefore not an academic exercise. It is a way to identify where physical limits, financial fragility and institutional liabilities intersect, and how

Securing Serbia’s energy future: A strategic framework to ensure stability, manage fiscal risks and finance the transition

The stress tests make one conclusion unavoidable: Serbia’s energy challenge is not a shortage of megawatts, but a shortage of system control. Energy volume exists, capital interest exists, and regional connectivity exists. What is missing is a coherent strategy that aligns technical reality, financial discipline and institutional responsibility. Without that alignment, shocks will continue to migrate

Region: SEE sees falling electricity prices in early 2026 amid lower demand and surge in renewables

Electricity prices across the Southeast European (SEE) region fell significantly in Week 01 of 2026 compared to Week 52 of 2025, driven by reduced demand during the New Year holidays and higher wind and solar generation. With the exception of Italy, all markets reported week-on-week price declines, many in the high single-digit to low double-digit

Europe: Ukraine boosts winter grid security with higher EU power import capacity

Ukraine has significantly expanded its ability to import electricity from the European Union after technical limits on cross-border imports to the combined Ukraine–Moldova zone were raised to 2,450 MW for January, replacing the previous ceiling of 2,150 MW. This increase widens the margin available to manage system stress during the winter season, when demand peaks

Slovenia: Electricity consumption on transmission network declines as solar capacity grows

Electricity consumption from Slovenia’s transmission network continued its gradual decline over the past year, reflecting a broader downward trend in demand. In the first eleven months of 2025, end users drew just over 9.8 TWh from the high-voltage network, marking a 0.9% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. Monthly figures show a consistent

Battery storage in Serbia: Investor economics, TSO system logic, financing strategy and policy blueprint for strategic national deployment

Battery energy storage will define Serbia’s electricity stability, competitiveness, and security of supply over the next decade. The technology is not an academic discussion, an environmental preference or a futuristic innovation; it is an economic asset class, a transmission stability instrument, a macroeconomic stabiliser and a strategic national capability. Serbia’s choice is not whether it

Battery storage in Serbia: From late starter to strategic energy powerhouse — system design, investor returns, TSO logic, competitiveness and policy path to 2035

Serbia stands at an inflection point in its electricity future. Decisions made between 2025 and 2030 will determine whether the country evolves into a modern, flexible, resilient energy economy capable of supporting industrial growth, renewable integration and market stability, or whether it remains structurally exposed to volatility, import dependence, fossil vulnerability and grid risk. At
