Bulgaria: AES Galabovo boosts output by 36%, supplies 7% of electricity in 2024

AES Bulgaria reported that its coal-fired thermal power plant, AES Galabovo, generated 2.62 million MWh of electricity in 2024, marking a 35.8% increase compared to the previous year’s 1.93 million MWh. The company stated that TPP Galabovo supplied around 7% of Bulgaria’s electricity consumption last year. In December alone, the power plant produced 256,000 MWh, […]

Bulgaria poised to launch small modular reactors with Synthos and Blue Bird Energy

Bulgaria may soon enter the small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) arena following a new partnership between an international nuclear developer and a local energy company. Poland-based Synthos Green Energy has reached a preliminary agreement with Blue Bird Energy to establish a joint venture focused on deploying up to six advanced SMR units in the country.

From power plants to platforms: Renewable business models in Southeast Europe

By 2025, the renewable electricity sector in Southeast Europe completed a transition that had been underway for nearly a decade but was often misunderstood while it was happening. Wind farms, solar parks and hydro plants ceased to function primarily as isolated production assets and began operating as integrated platforms. This shift did not occur because of

Renewable power as an anchor for industrial relocation in Southeast Europe

By 2025, renewable electricity in Southeast Europe began to influence industrial geography in a way that goes far beyond energy procurement. What initially appeared as a decarbonisation compliance tool has evolved into a structural input for industrial location decisions, investment sequencing and competitiveness strategy. Renewable power is no longer simply an operating cost line. In SEE,

Wind repowering opportunities in Southeast Europe

By 2025, wind repowering emerged as one of the most quietly attractive investment opportunities in Southeast Europe. While public attention remained focused on new-build capacity, the region’s first generation of utility-scale wind farms—commissioned largely between 2010 and 2015—entered a phase where asset age, turbine efficiency and evolving market exposure began to materially affect performance. These assets are

Balancing markets and flexibility revenues for renewables in Southeast Europe

By 2025, balancing and flexibility revenues emerged as one of the most underestimated profit drivers for renewable electricity producers in Southeast Europe. For most of the past decade, balancing markets in the region were treated as technical necessities rather than commercial arenas. Renewable producers focused on energy volumes and incentive-backed prices, leaving flexibility value largely to

Corporate power purchase agreements in Southeast Europe

By 2025, corporate power purchase agreements in Southeast Europe moved decisively out of pilot territory and into the core commercial architecture of the regional electricity market. What began as a niche instrument used by multinationals with global decarbonisation mandates has evolved into a practical procurement tool for a much broader segment of industrial and commercial electricity

Battery storage as a revenue tool for renewable power in Southeast Europe

By 2025, battery storage in Southeast Europe stopped being discussed primarily as a grid-resilience accessory and started being deployed as a direct revenue instrument for renewable electricity producers. This shift did not come from policy ambition or climate targets, but from hard commercial pressure. Solar penetration reached levels where unprotected midday output destroyed price realisation, while

Portfolio aggregation and merchant risk management in Southeast Europe

By 2025, renewable electricity producers across Southeast Europe have crossed a structural threshold. Wind and solar are no longer peripheral or subsidised supplements to conventional generation; they are now large enough to influence hourly price formation, intraday volatility and cross-border flows. This shift has fundamentally altered the commercial risk profile of renewable assets. The most important
