The sanctioned asset: How U.S. pressure on NIS turns Serbia’s oil sector into a geopolitical prize

When Washington quietly tightened the sanctioning architecture targeting Russia’s energy interests, Belgrade began feeling tremors long before any official measure referenced Serbia. The country’s largest oil company, NIS, majority-owned by Gazprom Neft, found itself drawn into the gravitational field of a much broader confrontation. The pressure did not resemble the blunt embargoes of previous eras; […]

Serbia prepares emergency measures as US denies NIS refinery license

Serbia is implementing emergency measures to maintain energy stability after the United States refused to issue a license allowing oil company NIS to continue operating its Pančevo refinery. Following consultations with national energy teams, President Aleksandar Vučić announced that Serbia would temporarily secure NIS’ payment operations through the end of the week, despite the financial

Serbia 2035: The fully integrated renewable economy

By 2035, Serbia will be a profoundly different energy and economic system than the one it operates today. The country stands at the threshold of a rare structural transformation—one that touches electricity, industry, manufacturing, transport, construction, finance and regional trade. If Serbia fully commits to its renewable trajectory, the nation will not merely decarbonize its

Serbia’s workforce challenge: Can the country train enough engineers for the renewable boom?

Serbia’s renewable-energy sector is expanding at a pace the country has never experienced before. Wind farms, solar parks, hybrid plants, substations, transmission corridors, battery systems and industrial PPAs are all driving a surge in investment that will transform the energy landscape over the next decade. But beneath the visible momentum lies the most critical constraint—and

Transmission first: Why Serbia’s grid expansion will determine all future RES investments

The future of Serbia’s renewable-energy sector will not be decided by auctions, PPA structures, investor appetite or available land. These elements shape the market, but they do not define its limits. The true bottleneck—and the ultimate enabler—of Serbia’s energy transition is the transmission grid. Every planned wind farm, solar park, battery system, hybrid plant or

The rise of energy storage: Why batteries will decide Serbia’s renewable stability by 2035

As Serbia accelerates the growth of its renewable-energy sector, an uncomfortable truth is becoming visible: wind and solar alone cannot deliver a stable, reliable and flexible power system. The grid absorbs what it can, but its structural limitations are becoming clearer with each new project. Transmission corridors in Banat saturate during peak winds. Distribution networks

Engineering risk = financial risk: Why quality failures in RES construction turn into millions lost

In Serbia’s expanding renewable-energy sector, the relationship between engineering and finance is becoming clearer than ever. The two were once treated as separate worlds—the engineers focused on foundations, cables, substations and turbines, while financiers focused on debt structures, IRR curves, PPA prices and repayment schedules. But the maturing market has erased this separation. In a

PPA revolution: How corporate PPAs will reshape Serbia’s industrial competitiveness

For decades, Serbian industry operated in an electricity environment defined by state utilities, regulated tariffs and predictable—if sometimes volatile—market conditions. Manufacturers, logistics companies, metal processors, chemical plants, IT parks and agribusiness operators all relied on a stable supply of relatively affordable power. The structure was simple: EPS generated the energy, EMS moved it across the
