Thus, one of the main features of the energy systems in the Western Balkans is their low level of energy efficiency, which is primarily reflected in energy losses in electricity distribution . The poorly maintained and aging energy infrastructure results in an energy intensity considerably higher than the European Union average .
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.
Most of the countries of the Western Balkan region inherited their energy infrastructure (e.g. for oil, gas and electricity) from the Socialist Federal Republic (SFR) of Yugoslavia, where most of the production plants were outdated and indeed, ripe for reconstruction and the improvement of production efficiency .
Energy is a key factor that determines the economic and social development of a country. Thus, the energy sector in Western Balkans countries is recognized as an important driving force of all the national economies.
The case of Western Balkans - ScienceDirect Economics of electric energy storage. The case of Western Balkans State of the art of technology and application of pumped hydro and battery storage systems. Overview of the installed electricity storage capacities in Western Balkans.
A common feature of the Western Balkan region is the significant share of solid fossil fuels, mainly coal (used for 47% of the total primary energy supply), in the energy mix .

Production of renewable energy in the Balkans
In the coming years, Akuo will become a central energy player in the Balkans. We will manage assets across the peninsula, in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. To accelerate the transition in these countries, we will combine our "traditional" project developments with rooftop solar using the ...
