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.
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.
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.
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.
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. They demonstrated a strong commitment to the green transition and the common goals and objectives under the Energy Community Treaty. At the heart of the Declaration
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.
