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.
Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Hungary are among more than a dozen EU countries opposing plans to favour electricity through taxation and common rules for grid charges. Governments want flexibility to set tariffs and taxes around domestic conditions.
Bulgaria’s storage fleet is estimated at more than 6.2 GW of power capacity and 19 GWh of energy capacity, enough to reshape regional day-ahead prices. By shifting electricity between low- and high-price hours, batteries support exports during scarcity periods while compressing the spreads available to storage projects.

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.
Croatian oil-pipeline operator JANAF halted crude transport on part of the Sisak-Slavonski Brod route after pipeline equipment was damaged near Prvca. The spill is estimated at 500 cubic metres.
