Montenegro installs Europe’s largest operating wind turbine at Gvozd wind farm

Montenegrin state-owned power utility EPCG has successfully installed what it claims is the largest wind turbine currently operating in Europe, underscoring Montenegro’s ambition to not only follow European energy trends but actively shape them. The Gvozd wind farm serves as a flagship project for this vision. The first 7 MW turbine, featuring a 120-meter tower […]

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

HV/MV infrastructure: The unseen backbone of Serbia’s renewable build-out

The growth of renewable energy in Serbia is often narrated through visible symbols: turbine towers rising above agricultural fields, solar panels stretching across the landscape, cranes assembling nacelles, substations humming with new capacity. But the real story of Serbia’s energy transition is not written in these visible elements. It is written in the invisible backbone

Wind vs. solar: Serbia’s new competition for land, grid and investors

Serbia’s renewable-energy landscape was once simple. Wind dominated early development, driven by strong resource potential in Banat and a supportive feed-in tariff that attracted pioneers into the sector. Solar lagged behind for years, held back by policy uncertainty, licensing complexity and a perception that Serbia’s continental climate could not match the economics seen in southern

ESG is not an add-on: Why social licence, biodiversity and transparency now shape Serbian RES investments

For many years, renewable energy in Serbia was framed primarily as a technical and financial endeavour. Developers focused on permits, engineering, EPC contracts, grid connection and financing. What happened outside this core—community engagement, biodiversity protection, transparency, environmental governance—was often treated as secondary. But the landscape has shifted decisively. ESG is no longer an optional layer

Financing the transition: How lenders, ECAs and DFIs evaluate Serbian RES projects

The last five years have quietly reshaped the financial architecture of Serbia’s renewable-energy sector. What was once a landscape of cautious local banks and a handful of foreign investors has evolved into a structured, multilayered financing environment where commercial banks, export credit agencies, development finance institutions and international investors play increasingly sophisticated roles. Serbia’s transition

The Balkan permitting gauntlet: Why renewable projects in Serbia still struggle with development risk

Every renewable developer who has worked in Serbia understands a basic truth about the market: the hardest part of building a solar or wind project is not raising capital or installing equipment. It is surviving the permitting gauntlet. This gauntlet is not unique to Serbia; every emerging renewable market carries layers of administrative, spatial, environmental

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

Serbia’s renewable surge: How the country is quietly becoming a regional green-power leader

For years, Serbia’s energy landscape appeared frozen in time. Coal dominated generation, hydropower provided stability, and the idea of large-scale renewable deployment felt distant. Political caution, regulatory hesitation and infrastructural bottlenecks slowed momentum. Yet beneath the surface, a transformation was quietly gathering force. Over the past five years, Serbia has entered a phase that would

Romania breaks ground on 96 MW Ansthall wind farm, securing power for 89,000 homes

Construction is underway on a new 96 MW wind farm in eastern Romania, marking another milestone in the country’s accelerating shift toward renewable energy. The Ansthall wind farm, located in Galați County, is expected to produce around 309 GWh of electricity annually, enough to power approximately 89,000 households. The project will feature 15 Vestas turbines
