Regulatory approaches to integrated energy systems in Serbia: From fragmentation to coherence 

Serbia’s energy policy is increasingly torn between its traditional sector-based governance and a future that demands full integration. Historically, electricity, gas, heating, fuel supply, and infrastructure planning existed as separate islands. Each sector had its own strategy, regulatory rules, investment plans and corporate logic. For decades, this structure worked. Today, it is becoming a structural […]

Network tariff design in Serbia: Pricing signals that match a changing power system

Serbia’s electricity tariff system is standing at a structural turning point. For decades, tariffs were built to serve a stable, centralized, largely state-dominated system with predictable consumption, limited distributed generation, and minimal behavioural responsiveness from consumers. That reality is disappearing. Today, Serbia is moving toward a power system influenced by renewables, digital technology, European market

Serbia’s baseload future: Assessing gas demand by 2035–2040

Serbia is entering the most decisive decade in the modern history of its energy system. What for years looked like a stable and predictable structure built around lignite baseload, large hydropower and modest imports is being replaced by a far more complex reality driven by renewables expansion, climate pressures, aging coal fleets, system reliability risks

Greece: Fixed-rate electricity contracts gain ground as consumers shift toward price certainty

Electricity consumers are increasingly shifting away from variable pricing in favor of long-term cost certainty, driving a rapid expansion of fixed-price electricity supply contracts over the past year. The pace of switching has accelerated to around 73,000 new fixed-rate agreements per month, putting the market on track to approach two million contracts in early 2026.
