The Western Balkans Move from Energy Transition to System Delivery
The energy transition in the Western Balkans is entering a new phase. Targets, strategies and policy alignment are no longer the main constraint. The defining challenge now is delivery at system scale.
Across South-East Europe, rapid renewable deployment has exposed structural weaknesses in electricity grids, market design and system flexibility. The Western Balkans face similar pressures, but they also have a narrow window of opportunity to design the next phase more effectively.
With lower renewable saturation levels, growing cross-border interconnection plans and increasing alignment with European energy frameworks, the region can build a more resilient energy system while avoiding mistakes already experienced in other markets.
Regional policy coordination is already taking place through initiatives led by the Energy Community, which supports regulatory alignment between the Western Balkans and the European Union.
