CMS is the first law firm in Belgrade to install a solar power plant on the roof of its own building. The plant has been in operation for nine months now. Two months ago, it also obtained official status as a prosumer (buyer-producer) of electricity. It is an important milestone in CMS Belgrade’s transition to […]
Airports in Istanbul and Athens are becoming completely self-reliant with their large solar power projects. Many other airports in Southeastern Europe are investing in photovoltaics as well. Together with energy efficiency, electric mobility and waste and wastewater management projects, they aim to decarbonize their operations and reduce their environmental impact. Surfaces around infrastructure such as […]
The latest data showed that prosumers in Romania don’t have a much larger total capacity anymore than commercial solar power plants, a segment accelerating in expansion. The share of units for self-consumption that include energy storage reached 5.8% in the first half of the year, compared to 1.2% six months earlier. Total number of prosumers […]
In partnership with Resalta, CWP Europe led the investment in a rooftop photovoltaic system of 6 MW in peak capacity in Kruševac in Serbia. They completed the project under an innovative ESCO model, contributing to the decarbonization efforts of the manufacturer of detergents and other chemical products. CWP Europe has successfully completed and commissioned a […]

North Macedonia drafted the Law on the Use of Energy from Renewable Sources to facilitate a decrease in fossil fuel consumption and a rise in the share of green energy. The legislation introduces market premiums under two-way contracts for difference (CfDs), which would be approved through renewable energy auctions. It also regulates net metering and […]
North Macedonia has prepared legislative changes to increase the capacity threshold for prosumers and speed up rooftop solar permitting and grid connection. Under the proposed amendments to the Law on Energy Efficiency, the capacity threshold for rooftop solar installations would be increased to 10 kilowatts (kW) for households and 70 kW for legal entities, according […]
The mature residential battery storage markets in Europe are stabilizing, while policy-driven and emerging markets are gaining traction, according to EUPD Research. Its new report showed prices of home batteries slumped more than 50% between the first half of 2023 and the first half of this year. The European residential battery storage market has remained […]
Greece’s distribution system operator HEDNO added more than 20,000 prosumers in the past year and a half, although the new net billing program faces delays. Last year the government in Athens formally ended the net metering scheme and enacted net billing, aligning with the European Union’s regulations. Any aspiring prosumer with an existing application can […]
Serbian state-owned power utility Elektroprivreda Srbije, EPS, connected its first larger photovoltaic unit to the grid. The new solar power plant is called Petka and it has a 10 MW grid connection. It is located in the Kostolac coal mining complex east of Belgrade, next to a wind park that is nearing completion. Each new […]
