    Serbia’s 1,027 MW import need highlights battery storage value

    Serbia’s forecast power balance on 15 October required about 1,027 MW of scheduled net imports, while SEEPEX recorded 368.6 €/MWh at hour 20. Battery storage could reduce exposure to the most expensive deficit hours and improve trading flexibility, but would not eliminate the country’s energy shortfall or import dependence.

    Serbian industry weighs battery ownership as SEEPEX reaches EUR 368.6/MWh

    Serbian industrial companies must weigh owning batteries against buying flexibility as a service. The choice depends on whether factory-specific savings or market optimisation provides most of the battery’s value.
