The Balkans Invest in Power Projects, an Industrial Info Market Brief

The countries that make up what was Yugoslavia are continuously investing in their power facilities. What in the past would be mostly invested in coal-fired power generation is now distributed across hydro, wind and coal.

Industrial Info is tracking $40 billion in potential power-related spending in the region, with $13.5 billion earmarked for hydro projects, $10.2 billion for coal-fired facilities and $8.7 billion for wind. Click here for the list of projects.

The highest spending is in Bosnia-Hercegovina ($12.5 billion), followed by Serbia ($9 billion).

More investment is expected on renewable energy, especially windfarms, as at the moment the region has only 23 operational windfarms.
