/ZAGREB, December 7, 2022, 9:30 GMT, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ The Western Balkans are the newfound hotspot for solar PV energy investments amongst European countries. Between 2011 and 2021, the Western Balkans increased their solar capacity more than 8-fold (from 0.27GW in 2011). They became one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe, with a cumulative installed solar PV capacity of 2.19GW for 2021 (a 22.5 % increase from 2020). The maturing German, Spanish and Italian markets allowed investors to look for new opportunities in the Western Balkans region.

/12th May 2021, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ This decade shall be crucial for the clean energy transformation of Croatia, reveals the Renewable Market Watch™ in its report Western Balkans Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook 2021÷2030. The country has considerable potential for developing solar energy and increasing energy independence. The energy transition council of Croatian President Zoran Milanović was established in 2020 and estimated the country’s solar potential to 6.8GW. However, to harness this potential effectively, Croatia will need to adopt more ambitious solar energy targets, ensure clear renewable energy investment direction…

/11th October 2019, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ The Czech Republic is in the process of preparation to start renewable energy auctions (tenders) from 2021 to meet its future targets for renewable electricity in the final energy consumption. However, solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is not included in the auctions (tenders) in the first draft of the new RES auction (tender) law. Officials from the Czech government suppose that solar PV electricity shall be fully competitive without any subsidies from 2021 and shall not need any support.

/17th September 2019, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ Croatia's energy development to 2030 and 2050 can continue at an accelerated or at a moderate pace and all options mean decarbonisation, switching to renewable energy sources and decreasing the emission of greenhouse gasses, notes an analysis called "Green Book" and published by the Hrvoje Požar Energy Institute (EHIP).
