Montenegro is moving toward a strategic-partner model for a 60 MW / 240 MWh battery project after the government did not approve borrowing for EPCG’s planned procurement. A government working group is now tasked with the strategic project.
EPCG’s memorandum with Japan’s PowerX sets an indicative target of about 500 MWh of battery storage over an initial three-year period. The commercial opportunity is to coordinate batteries with hydro, rising solar output and cross-border trading, rather than rely on standalone arbitrage.
Nuclearelectrica expects to reconnect Cernavoda Unit 1 on 6 November 2026 after more than three months offline because low Danube levels disrupted cooling-water supplies. Unit 2 is expected to remain offline until river conditions support both reactors operating simultaneously.

Late-October gas prices raised fuel-cost risks for Southeast Europe's gas-fired power fleet as storage remained low and LNG deliveries uncertain. Gas-fired output also rose in Hungary and Greece during the reporting week.
LNG inflows increased in Greece, Croatia and Italy in the week to November 1 compared with Week 43. Italy had the largest volume, while Greece recorded the biggest percentage gain.
Croatia recorded Southeast Europe's largest weekly increase in average day-ahead electricity prices in the week to November 1, despite higher renewable output and lower net imports. Its price premium over Greece widened to €15.88/MWh.
Greece increased net electricity exports by 52.83% in the week to November 1, while remaining the lowest-priced of seven major regional power markets. Its weekly average day-ahead price rose, but stayed below prices in Romania and Italy.
Serbia’s weekly average electricity price reached €286.55/MWh in late October, more than double its 2026 year-to-date average. The rise renewed focus on procurement and trading exposure across Southeast Europe.
