Europe often frames its industrial vulnerability as a resource scarcity issue. Political speeches emphasise “access” to lithium, rare earths, nickel, copper or manganese. Strategy papers discuss upstr
South-East Europe as Europe’s heavy-industry shock absorber — with Serbia as its competitive anchor
Europe’s core industrial economies are increasingly constrained. High and volatile energy prices, dense regulatory frameworks, urban saturation, community resistance to new heavy industrial assets and
South-East Europe as Europe’s stress test: What the region reveals about the energy transition
South-East Europe does not sit on the periphery of Europe’s energy system. It sits at its edge in a different sense: the edge where constraints bind first, where volatility appears earliest, and where
One energy system, three fuels: Why Europe no longer has separate power, gas, and oil markets
For most of the modern history of European energy policy, electricity, natural gas, and oil were treated as adjacent but fundamentally separate domains. They were regulated through different framework
From power flows to industrial costs: How EU electricity volatility reshapes competitiveness in southeast Europe
For decades, electricity was treated by industry as a predictable input. Prices fluctuated within narrow bands, supply security was largely taken for granted, and energy strategy focused on efficiency
Flexibility without reward: Why southeast Europe balances Europe’s power system but captures none of the value
In the emerging architecture of Europe’s electricity system, flexibility has become the most valuable attribute a power asset can possess. The ability to ramp output quickly, absorb surplus generation
Scenario-based 2030–2040 supply-chain outlook: electricity, logistics, SEE corridors and Europe’s processing competitiveness
Europe’s pursuit of strategic autonomy in raw materials, electrification metals and industrial processing capacity is entering a decade defined by volatile energy markets, shifting logistics routes, g
The grid-ready wind farm — engineering for congestion, curtailment and dynamic grid codes in Southeast Europe
A decade ago, the success of a wind farm in Southeast Europe was determined primarily by resource quality, EPC execution, and turbine reliability. Today, those factors remain essential—but they are no
