Eurostat data show household electricity prices remained comparatively low across much of the Western Balkans, while Romania recorded the EU’s sharpest increase in the first half of 2026. Retail tariffs do not capture differences in procurement, balancing and fiscal costs.
Romania has adopted initial regulations to open its offshore wind sector to investors, with three Black Sea areas offering about 3.1 GW of potential capacity. Transelectrica plans more than EUR 2.2 billion in transmission investment between 2026 and 2035 to support renewable generation and storage.
Around 2 GW of battery storage connection agreements were reported in Serbia in 2026, but the first standalone projects still need to establish a local financing template. EMS requires a construction bank guarantee before transmission-connected projects can advance to connection contracts.
Battery warranties are becoming financial-model inputs as storage projects in Southeast Europe move beyond two-hour designs. Guarantees on cycles, retained capacity and availability can affect debt sizing, revenue assumptions and terminal value.

BHP has issued termination notices for its Central Timok and Borsko exploration options in eastern Serbia, returning eight licences to Mundoro Capital when the notices take effect. The miner retains separate Trstenik and South Timok agreements, while Mundoro seeks partners to fund drilling on the returned licences.
Centerra Gold has agreed to buy 12.374 million newly issued Mundoro Capital shares for approximately C$4.08 million (€2.60 million), in a proposed placement that would give it a 9.9% stake. The funding would support Mundoro’s exploration and working capital as it seeks partners for projects in Serbia, but the deal has not closed.
Northstone Resources secured commitments for a share placement worth about EUR1.45 million to fund exploration at its Tlamino gold-silver and Timok East copper-gold projects in Serbia. The financing will support drilling and technical studies, not mine construction.
European Energy is evaluating a renewable-energy complex in Bulgaria’s Dobrich region, centred on a wind project of up to 1 GW. The concept also includes solar generation, battery storage and infrastructure for industrial users.
