Western Balkan energy: Too little competition, too much coal, and too much Russia. Energy sectors across the Western Balkans are dominated by state enterprises whose non-transparency and mismanagement have
Balkan Peninsula Region is dependent on energy import, especially the oil and natural gas imports, with the high dependence and use of coal, primily lignite, in power generation. Besides the high carbon density due to the heavy dependence on coal, the excessive use of wood for fuel is a significant environmental concern, as it is the cause of air pollution,

How Solar & Storage Will Drive the Balkan Green Energy Transition Solarplaza Summit Balkans: Solar & Storage to outline hybrid renewable solutions for the region. ROTTERDAM - 29 April 2024 - The Balkans region is one of Europe''s most promising areas for solar growth. Boasting excellent solar irradiation and a rapidly improving investment climate,
With the proposed amendments to the Law on the Use of Renewable Energy Sources, Serbia will promote the introduction of energy storage facilities, Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Đedović said. Upon
Levelized storage costs of 339 €/MWh for sodium-sulfur batteries show considerable potential for new installations, as compared to 125 €/MWh for pumped hydro storage. The European Commission has set ambitious targets for increasing the share of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES-E).

Energy storage could be the key component for efficient power systems transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources. The core objective of this paper is to investigate the cost-effectiveness of pumped hydro storage and large-scale battery storage systems.
A reliable yet carbon-free power system can be achieved with a combination of renewables, storage (hydro, batteries, thermal storage) and 5 GW of green hydrogen fuelled power plants. Deeper regional integration can further reinforce security of supply.

Europe and China are leading the installation of new pumped storage capacity – fuelled by the motion of water. Batteries are now being built at grid-scale in countries including the US, Australia and Germany. Thermal energy storage is predicted to triple in size by 2030. Mechanical energy storage harnesses motion or gravity to store electricity.

By focusing on renewable energy and energy eficiency, the Western Balkan Six will enhance their energy security and sustainability while taking significant steps towards a greener and more equitable future. Currently, the Secretariat is evaluating the draft integrated national energy and climate plans submitted during the summer months.
The focus should remain on systemic and regional responses such as the full integration of the Western Balkans’ electricity markets with the European one, which in turn will facilitate the deployment of more renewable energy. In addition, energy efficiency has emerged as a top priority for the Western Balkan Six.
The study “Powering the Future of the Western Balkans with Renewables” is accompanied by two slide decks containing detailed country-level and regional-level modelling results. Making Western Balkans’ power systems CO₂ free by 2045 is possible and would save money.
There was a risk that the Western Balkan Six could lose touch and be left behind. By signing the Declaration on Energy Security and Green Transition in the Western Balkans, the leaders of the Western Balkans Six lived up to the manifold challenges.
It also came at a time when the profound transformation towards climate neutrality, known as the Green Deal, has been in full swing in the rest of Europe. There was a risk that the Western Balkan Six could lose touch and be left behind.
If the Western Balkan countries invest in hydrogen-ready infrastructure and storage technologies instead, they can reduce cumulative fossil gas demand by 50 percent up to 2045 while cutting overall costs by 12 percent compared to a strategy that bets on fossil gas to replace aging lignite.
