Bosnia and Herzegovina: EPBiH launches €32 million denitrification project at TPP Kakanj to meet EU emission standards

Earlier this month, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s state-owned utility EPBiH launched a procurement procedure for the construction of a flue gas denitrification facility at the Kakanj thermal power plant, representing a significant step toward aligning the country’s coal-based electricity generation with European environmental standards. The value of the investment is estimated at around €32 million. The […]

Bosnia and Herzegovina sees surge in thermal and renewable power generation in October 2025 despite lower hydropower output

According to the Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, gross electricity production in the country reached 1,232 GWh in October 2025, compared to 1,142 GWh in the same month last year. Hydropower plants accounted for 24.2% of total output, while thermal power plants dominated with 66.5%, and solar and wind power plants contributed 9.3%.

Beyond barrels: How infrastructure, refining power and geopolitics decide oil reality in South-East Europe

Oil in South-East Europe is not simply about consumption, demand curves, or refinery margins. It is about who controls access points, who commands refining capability, who manages pipelines and terminals, and who operates under which geopolitical influence. Unlike electricity, which is tied to internal generation and balancing, and unlike gas, which is dominated by dependency

Who actually shapes liquidity, cross-border flows and price discovery in SEE’s gas markets

Gas in South-East Europe is not just a commodity. It is infrastructure, geopolitics, finance, and strategic vulnerability wrapped together. Unlike electricity, which is inherently domestic to its grids even when cross-border trade is high, gas is structurally external in SEE. These markets depend on who can bring molecules into the region, who controls the pipelines,

Who actually shapes liquidity, cross-border flows, and price discovery in SEE’s power markets

The question of who truly controls electricity in South-East Europe is not really about megawatts alone. It is about who controls movement, who controls visibility, who absorbs risk and who can turn fragmented national markets into a single tradable system. When you step back and examine Albania, North Macedonia and Montenegro together with Croatia, Bosnia

Who really controls power trading in the Western Balkans

Power trading in the Western Balkans has never simply been about electricity. It is about geography, interconnection politics, hydrology, capital, algorithmic capability and the ability to manage risk across multiple fragmented but interdependent markets. Albania, North Macedonia and Montenegro sit at the centre of this landscape, not as large demand centres but as strategically positioned

Renewables and storage in SEE: Between ambition, reality and the question of who truly joins Europe’s green energy future

Europe has already crossed a strategic threshold. Renewables are no longer an experimental transition concept; they are the backbone of its emerging power system. Wind, solar and hydropower are structurally rewriting electricity economics. Storage is shifting from a niche support function into an essential strategic pillar. Flexibility has become capital. Stability now depends not on

When renewables arrive faster than the system: Why SEE’s power future depends on balancing and open borders

South-East Europe is accelerating into a renewable future, but the systems meant to stabilise, balance and move that electricity across borders are not keeping pace. The result is a region that risks turning opportunity into instability, unless balancing capacity strengthens and cross-border congestion finally yields to openness and trust. South-East Europe’s electricity story is increasingly

The line that could change everything: Why the Trans-Balkan Corridor is the real decision point for SEE power

Infrastructure does not lie. Where political speeches can overpromise and strategies can remain theoretical, infrastructure exposes whether a region truly intends to change. In South-East Europe, the Trans-Balkan Electricity Corridor is more than a transmission project. It is the moment where electricity rhetoric finally meets the physical world — and where a region must decide

Carbon costs at the door: How CBAM forces the Western Balkans to confront Its electricity reality

Europe’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is often discussed as a technical climate policy, but in truth it is one of the most powerful instruments ever aimed at redefining industrial, trade and energy behaviour. For the Western Balkans, CBAM does something more decisive still: it ends comfortable ambiguity. It makes electricity not simply a domestic policy
